From what you are looking at it looks like you are trying to get a set of nice looking wheels at a low price. Well the only way to do that is used....There is no real "bargain" performance wheel upgrade out there. The SSR GT3 is about as close to that as there is. Its light and it is a 3 piece wheel and its the least expensive wheel of that kind.

you can go to 11" on the back with a 67 offset...I have 11's on the rear of mine, lowered with no rubbing...

hmmm...not sure if i want to go to 11's but still an option. Im not sure about offsets tho. will a 10.0 inch in the back require a different offset? What about the front with 8.5? I do plan on lowering as well. A lot of guys on here go with the H&R springs or go full coil overs on the Pss9's. I dont think I want to go just more than a lower stance, and some lowering springs.

Well it looks just like 10's, if you have the correct offset...remember GT3's have 11's stock on a narrow body car....PSS9's are the way to go...
