When i say inexpensive i don't mean cheap and brittle....but something that won't wreck my bank account that will be used a few times a year and likely wrapped in R888's.

Suggestions? many thanks.

OZ Ultraleggera is a budget friendly rim, looks nice as well.

You can get it in RS offsets for a more aggressive look

Do you have centerlocks? If so I have a set of wheels and r888s I'm thinking of selling. Also located in NJ

I'd suggest checking out Forgestar. They're pretty light (18.0lb & 22.8lb IIRC) and inexpensive. I bought direct from them. I like buying from Tirerack, but the OZ doesn't come in a 9" front.

I have 18" OZ Challenge wheels. Very limited tire selection, but as long as Toyo keeps making the 245 and 305 R888, I'm ok.

There is a set of CCWs on ebay 18x9 and 18x11 for very reasonable. That would be a great choice for less than 2k. OZ would be next, forgestar has seen some failures recently.

FlowForm FF15's would be a good addition as well. 18x8.5 and 18x11 fitments are available in Tarmac or any premium finish. Here's how they look (note the fitment below is 19"):

I love HRE to death, but my vote goes to CCW or Formula 43, which are both fully forged for a little more than the price of the flowforms.
