Default rethinking my gangsta wheelz...

my 18s = rough ride = heavy as **** = horrible offset = bad paint

all of these things have brought me to the conclusion that i wont be putting them back on.. but since i'm not the one to stick with stock i was thinking something along the lines of this..

http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/761789/10002/-1

so far i'm not sure if i like the sportlite or sport star better, but i'm pretty sure i'd like to go 15x7 up from and 15x10 out back. i'm not sure which offset would be best, 4.5, 5.5, of 6.5.. (which ever is closest to flush), but is jegs a good name to go with or should i look into summit or weld?

and another thing, can anyone find me some fairly cheap tire links?

not to rain on your parade or anything but weld and jeg wheels look nearly the same, with the exception of weld's higher price tag.. (i have a pretty tight budget here...)
