Under a grand? That's a tough order, however try wheel dynamics for new replicas or craigslist for used. Here is a link to some that are just over a grand now I believe.

that is a very tall order bud. It will be hard to find even used wheels for $1k.
Good luck on your search

There are some decent looking wheels made by Ruger ( alot of ebay vendors) Large Mesh style that are a little above 1k but without tires, Although a lower end 1 piece cast rim I believe.

You'll have to get a bit lucky to find a full set around that price though.

1k? Not likely for both wheels and tires at that price. You could possibly find a set of oem 997 Sport Design with tires for about $1500.

I agree with fly996

Look for a set of oem sport designs or classics in 19 inch, I got a mint set on here for 1600.00 wheels and tires in 19 inch and I use them as my winter wheels.

You probably will find some OEM takeoffs for under a $1000 (without tires). Stick a set of Hankook V12's on there for about $650 and you should have a set (with new tires) for about $1500 or so.

You can easily find a winter setup for 1k. Check Tirerack.
