Default New Wheels?

Right thinking about new wheels on my wagon. Can anyone recommend any that are around £200-£250 mark? or am i in cloud cuckoo land that i can get some at that price? Not sure about sizes etc never bought alloys before. Im not keen on gold or chrome on anything chav like!! (sorry no offence just dont think gold will go with the DBM)

Also how much effect does different rims have on tyre prices?

If anyone want to photoshop some then great or supply a pic so i can see yours?

£200-£250 per wheel + tyre? ... or for the whole lot?

You'll get a set of 4 wheels with tyres brand new for between £500-£600 depending on size.

Last year I bought (via an SN group buy) a set of 18" ROTA GRA's with 215/40 Falken tyres for £684.
