Wide rims on a budget??

So most of us aren't ballers that can afford $4k rims and tires. Any ideas for some rims between the $1k - $2k price range that are 10+ inches wide with semi agressive - agressive offsets. The point is more function than form. Any recommendations would be awesome thanks. Oh and lip is a big plus

**EDIT** Forgot to specify the rim size and pattern: 18 or 19 inch rims 5x114

Mustang wheels, they're like $500 shipped for the set, in a couple styles.
Good widths and offset 17x10 + 20 or something around there.

$1k-$2k is actually a decent budget for nice used wheels. You just have to shop around.

Seconded. I have plenty of pictures of my 17x9's in my build thread here: http://zilvia.net/f/builds-builds-on...r-build-3.html

I really like how they look and the 10's have even more dish if you're into that.

Here's a challenge: 18x12 to 13 inch wide rims within that price range. +1 if you can find them for under $1k

Thanks! Unfortunately they have been poor so far but that's only because it's been cold out (like 45F cold...) So yeah, no summer tire is gonna be good in that temp range but I'm sure they'll shine once it heats up.

I plan on going to another autox on the 12th and/or 26th and it should be warmer then. I'll update on my thread when I do.

two sets of high offset weak size works, one step lip and one flat lip. re-assemble with the flat barrels as lips, then sell all eight lips and four of the faces.

Doesn't get much cheaper than that.
First of all that ish is weak and has nothing to do with this thread. Second don't advertise your stuff in this thread or the admin will have to handle you

Nope, you were trying to advertise your business without paying the advertisement fee.

That is not the same at all.
