There are plenty of folks selling good condition style 214's between 1000-1200 + shipping w/o tires on the forums you just have to jump on them. I found an excellent set locally on craigslist by chance and picked them up the next day b/c they were too good to pass up. It just requires some time searching. Seen quite a few sets on xbimmers lately...

Also, get the replica areo kit from ebay $220-250 max...saves a ton over OE. I'm perfectly happy with mine and I'm usually anal about crap.
