Ah, gotchya. Yeah, that's a pretty standard price for RPF1s and white ones can be tough to come by.

If you don't mind waiting a little bit I'd watch the wheels for sale thread on NASIOC too, it's one of the most active buy/sell/trade wheel threads out there and plenty of other Subaru models are 5x100. Otherwise, I'd just wait until you can afford the RPF1s you want and proper tires at the same time. Wheels, tires, suspension, and brakes are the main things you should never get cheap or cut corners on.

OP - if you on a budget check out simpletire.com they have budget friendly tires, BUT you may get what you pay for.

i recently got 2 new of above, different size tho, to match that were on a set of used wheels. didnt want to invest in replacing all 4 when 2 were still good condition. im satisfied but dont track and rarely drive aggressively enough for compound & tread pattern to matter.

AND another thought about stretching, you may scratch up your nice new wheels if ya not careful, either turning to hard riding rim, or scratching on curbs when hitting apex lil to short

the stock 215 tires on a 9" RPF1 wheel will have a good amount of stretch, but nothing life threatening and will save you some money on tires for the time being. but if you're on stock suspension, stretched tires will look stupid and you will have no benefit at all from it either.
