thats what you are going to spend on rims and tires..... I suggest either HP tuners EVO, or HR5's 19x9 since u dont want to lower your car too much..... or Torque thrust 2's........there is a huge choice depending on what u want to spend..... But you wont find a good wheel with tires for under $1500..... including shipping.

You could always go with the usual TT2's or ZR1s so you can put 17x11's on the rear. Cost won't be that bad either.

..and not only will they look godd they will be light, like the CCW's. It kills me to see folks spemd money on mods and then load the car down with cheap heavy wheels. Why do it?? The stock wheels are light compared to most of the above metioned wheels!

The "best" looking wheels are subject to the eyes of the owner. I can't tell you what you're going to like.
