I paid $1000 for a set of SSR GT1 wheels; Fronts 18x8 +38 offset with 245/45 Brigdestone Potenza, Rears 18x9 +45 offset with 255/45 Bridgestone Potenza. The wheels where used but in excellent condition. I was lucky enough to pick them up saving on shipping. I was in the same position, i had the car for three years and needed tires, so i figured why not get both in one shot..... The wheels look great on the car.
