Best place for decent alloys?

Hi everyone! :D

On my 04 Liberty, currently have the basic crappy alloys (like these: http://tinypic.com/r/34t77r8/5 ) with more than their fair share of gutter-rash :( (it wasn't me, it was the previous moron who clearly can't reverse parallel park!)
I'm after either 17s or 18s, if not genuine Subaru, something that will at least match the car (sedan, 04, silver)

After looking in Bob Jane and other various tyre/wheel outlets, I couldn't seem to manage to find alloys that were 1) reasonably priced and 2) that matched the car, without looking like they should be stuck on a Commodore or Falcon.
I already have tyres for a 17", so that would be preferable - but if not, I have a mate at Jax Quickfit who can hook me up with cheap tyres. Don't really want to spend much more than $600-650 for the wheels themselves. :)

So what custom alloys do you all have on your Subies?

Absolutely any feedback is appreciated!

Cheers.

At that price I would just get the stockies repaired. Especially if it includes tyres
