Default who makes reasonably priced custom wheels

I might be in the market for some 17x9.5 and 18x11 wheels in the future.

Any ideas who makes some reasonably priced customs?

The cheapest I know of 1800 for a set.

I'm not sure if they have the sizes, especially in the style you might be looking for, but these seem to be somewhat reasonable priced:

and every now and then Jegs has some specials:

Look up Coye's wheels on ebay. I got 18x8's up front and 18 x 9 1/2 rears for $1100. I think I used search words "17" Intro Wheels"

Chevy C5 wagon wheels. If you want the cheapest check out the C5 or C6 for sale sections. Or just post that you want a set. These are considered worthless for those cars since they are so ugly.
Even so check out those sites since they seem to constantly upgrade their rims since there isn't much they can do with their cars. This seems to be a normal I want to get rid of thing. There are several styles and price ranges complete with tires and air senders on the rims for the run flat tires.

I got a free set from my bro and painted black look pretty good. This is on a white car so may have some advantage there. Add about $400 for the adapters.
One further advantage to this is you might get the rubber to for a song. They bought ultra high $$ rims and have no use for these things.

Not sure but 1100 for rims don't include the money for tires too?

The custom backspacing comes as an adapter. It gets bolted on then the wheels get bolted to that.
