another set cost me $400 for wheels, and $200 for tires,
I got a set of Scion wheels for $125 and tires were $150
whats your point? just because wheels cost a lot does not mean they will not fail. In a high speed crash ALL wheels will act the same....they bend and break.

yeah it's not like he has a turbo or anything that he will need a super performance tire or a strong wheel to handle the power. Not like he is gonna be racing and subjecting the tires/wheels to harsh conditions just as racing through sharp turns.
Not everybody on SL needs to spend $2,000 on a set of wheels and tires. In fact most people prolly don't spend over $800 for wheels and tires.

or
18x8.5 with a 3" lip +35 offset
they will be on a daily driver and the car is dropped on hotchkis springs
Questions:
will i rub with 18.5"s ?
will i feel slower?
what tire size should i need for 18x8.5?
do you think they match?

you should have no rubbing issues with the 18's.
I think they match just fine
tire maybe a 225 35 18 at least
you won't feel slower really. At least i never did with my 18's.

i would go with a 225/40/18
I am on a 225/45 with my 17"s and i never rub and i basically have the same drop as u if not a tiny bit more. The 40 will maybe compensate for the extra wheel diameter.

maybe for 15's but not for 18-19's
2k for 18's is reasonable.... i don't recommend anything i wouldn't put on my car and pos wheels is not one of them.
