Alloy Wheels: Favorite Brand, and why?

I am looking at some tire/wheel upgrade options. What has been your experience with these wheels:

Weld Racing
Centerline
American Racing
Eagle

I like Welds the best, but they are very spendy! Centerlines seem to be quality as well, but do you think ARE and Eagle wheels are any good? I am not experienced with wheels so don't know what I should shop for as far as features, construction, etc.

I did some checking on Weld's F1 Renegade. Locally tire shops want $375 to $520 per wheel! From Summit Racing they are $285 (for the 17x8").

Thanks for your expertise!
