My choices are
1: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SSR-TYPE...=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43a9d485f8

2: http://www.wheelweb.com.au/public/JAX/jaxpublicselect.aspx?brand=ozwheels&style=SUPERTURISMO_DAKAR

3: http://www.wheelweb.com.au/public/jax/jaxpublicselect.aspx?brand=ADVANTI&style=Almera

4: http://www.wheelweb.com.au/public/jax/jaxpublicselect.aspx?brand=ozwheels&style=ALLEGGERITA_HLT2

I do like the look of the SSRs but i do not like that price tag so much.

I am mainly after a 19" in black that has about 8~12 spokes that aren't too thin or too thick, i will also get slightly lower profile tires to negate the extra size of the rim.
 
SSRs would be my first choice but if price is an issue I like the 4th ones.
 
If i can get wheels that are a clone of the SSRs but cost like normal wheels that 3,000 dollars i would go for those.

Are SSRs that really that expensive?
They state they are a light weight wheel, so by those terms they mean track day lightweight
 
Depending on what type of SSRs. Type F and Type C are probably leaps and bounds lighter than those OZ wheels.

EDIT: 19 inch on a Civic? That right there will usually disappoint you as a far a track day, no matter how light it is.
 
My Civic has 17" as stock and i was asking if they are 3K cause they are super lightweight for something that one would use for track days
 
You do have a problem.

Most OZ Racing wheels cost about $1000-1300 for each wheel, without a tyre fitted on it, in 19". My dad was looking at the same wheels, as well as Botticelli, for his Accord Euro. Unfortunately that is the price you pay for forged wheels.

So if you're looking for a cheap set out of those 4...you've only got the Advantis to work with.

There are a few online stores where you can get a set of four wheels with decent tyres for ~$2000 but they don't really have the sort of style you're looking for.
 
Dude, do me a favor and type Rays CE28N into a Google image search. Decision made. They aren't stupidly expensive, about the same as my SSR Professors from memory when I was shopping around, and they look BADASS.
