there are infinate choices, look thru SCC, Super Street, and see what appeals to you. Generally you can get a nice set of rims for around $1000 shipped w/tires. Check if the retailer is giving you a good price on tires sometimes they mark them up with the combo's. The benchmark for Tire prices is www.tirerack.com (they also sell rims, not quite the selection but they are top notch a very good company)

for example I bought my 17" Rota C-10's from Island Motorsports for $640, I added lugs & hub centric rings (allot $50-$75 for lugs and rings you need them!!) but since I only bought the rims I still needed tires

i was finding better prices by buying my tires separatly, went to tirerack $84 each for 215/45/17" Kumho Ecsta 712's, or $345 delivered.

went to Costco to get mounted and balanced, $8 per tire (some tire shops wanted $20-$50 a wheel to mount and balance, no way)

so i came out around $1100 all together

but many places have combo deals where you get the tires also premounted and balanced and then you only have to pay shipping once. Just don't let them give you the 205/40/17 tire size it looks and rides crappy (IMO) the sidewall is too thin.

but there is much info out there search around and ask what other shops are reputable.
