Default Inexpensive wheels, stock sizes

Hi, I'm looking for 17" wheels for my AP2 with the same dimensions as my stock wheels. The problem is.. I'm on a budget. I guess I'm looking for advice on which wheel setups are going to cost me no more than $750-$800 for a set. Tires not needed. I will use the tires that I have on my OEM wheels. Which options are out there that fall within my budget and are OEM specs?

Thanks.

You can go with the ASA's. There an affordable wheel but there not the same offsets as factory. They will work just fine though even with the car being lowered. 48 offest front, 45 rear

I'd say save up just a hair more and get some RPF1's. They're not TOO expensive.

go for the rpf1... used with tires u can get them for around 1000-1200... Brand new with out tires they run for around 1000-1100 shipped. Dont get the ASA's. They are heavier than stock rims. Save up another 200 and go get the enkei rpf1's they weight liek 15 lb in the front and 16 lb in the back. (Oem 17" wheels weigh around 22 lbs)

^ do they only come in that bronze color? I think that finish will look ugly on a suzuka. I was hoping for silver or black with a silver lip.

They definitely come in at least silver and gold colors, and you can always refinish them to whatever color you want.

I think gold wheels look super hot on Suzuka

Yeah, I'm not going for the JDM-ish look though. Gold wheels never did it for me, except maybe on a black car. Suzuka is a tough color to match. My AP1 Suzuka had black wheels with a silver lip, so I kind of want to switch it up. I don't want to go all black or gold though. I might just get silver.
