Default New Wheels and Tires

Ok, newbie here, and I did search and have decided to go with some 17's. And it looks like I will be going with the black wheel with the polished lip. But, my question is what I should expect to pay for wheels, and then a price for what to expect for wheels and tires.
And are there any wheels you recommend. Thanks in advance.

Name brand stuff closer to 1000 by the time it's all on and you're rollin. Opinions are like A-holes...everybody has one.. What is your style? are you going for a JDM look or the big baller look or what? Got a pic of the car?

I was thinking of going with the JDM look. This is my second car. I got a black 2006 two door as my daily driver. I also have a 2002 Audi A4. A4 mods include tint, sport suspension, 19" wheels, chip, injectors, everything short of a bigger turbo. For this car I just want it to look good and get me through the day. I have a friend that works at Koya Racing and can get me some JDM replicas. 4 wheels for $450 no tax, and they will let me use a card too. It sounds like a good deal, but I don't know if I will bite. I asked around and no one really knows anything about Koya, so that is where the reluctance is, but in my experience replicas are just as good. I have RS4 reps on my A4 and they were tons better then Axis. I went through 2 sets of 19s. 2 SETS!!!!!!!!!

so i guess your going to go for the smaller rims then?..wow 450 is a amazing deal, i think i would jump on that, you cant go wrong..the best thing is get a wheel and tire package because its much cheaper then going tires and rims seperate, i would expect to pay about a grand like he sead^^..rota is a good wheel, check out this like for some of there stuff http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.php , if thats what you want to go with the the smaller wheel

I took a look on the Rotas and they do look good. Thanks for the suggestions. My friend showed me another wheel and the deal sounds so good that I plan on jumping. here are pics http://www.koyaracing.com/gallery.htm
the k-racer looks like a replica of the axis neo, my first set of 19s for the audi. But, this time it will be black. And the price is $500 brand new. Thanks for the help, this forum is very helpful.
