without spending $500+ per wheel, which manufactures are the one's to consider? which are the one's to avoid?

i have seen apex, vmr, and others several times on the board. guidance is appreciated.

thanks...
Do you want weak/light/cheap or strong/heavy/cheap?

You would be much better served by a 235 square setup with the 128i over the staggered. 17" is better for everything except subjective looks.
