I think discounttiredirect.com has some for that price...no name tires but pretty decent rims. I wish I knew how much they weighed though...
 
If you have no money an no job, don't buy wheels and tires. End of story.

Tires are the mostr important thing on your car for safety, handling, and acceleration. Don't skimp.
 
Try www.edgeracing.com

They carry a good selection of wheels and tires combo AND they list how much each wheel weighs so you can decide. They also carry 5Zigen wheels (I love the FC-N01R Gunmetals!) and great tires (Toyo Proxes, Bridgestone S-03s) to go with the combo. Other companies just send you Nankangs or no-name tires.
 
Do what i did, find what you want on the net and then have americas tires price match. I got some 17"x7" Konig theories in the graphite coated and machineed lip for $600.00 with Kumho ecsta H rated. This way you get your fixable flats fixed for free and if you buy the warranty, you have that.
Most aftermarket rims and tires will be lighter than the stockers, unless you go +2 or +3.

good luck

Who is Americas Tires? That sounds like a really good idea with the whole price match thing. But it probly only works if they have the same wheels as the ones i find on the net, right?
 
I say find some 2g GSX wheels!! They look beautiful on a lowered eclipse. And you can easily grab some for less than $300 and buy some good tires with the rest. :thumb:
 
Discount tires and Americas tires are the same people, depending which is availible in your area. They can match mostly any price(with some exceptions) after all they have more buying power than you and me and all they have to do is set up a distributor relationship with whoever you choose, then they get their discount/ profit.
 
Problem w/ most $500-799 package deals is that they use cheap crappy nankang tires or the like. I ended up buyimg rims and tires seperate because no places had kumho mx's in a package deal. Slightly used would be your best bet.

I purchased a set of 17" Konigs for $450 shipped from www.eastcoastimports.com and I bought my Falken tires at Discount Tires. The whole set cost me around $600
