for 2k you can get some good quality wheels.

for chrome I like these. http://www.rdmwheels.com/lsportline/model3.htm

for something a little more sporty you can find a couple wheels here that are reasonable. http://www.rdmwheels.com/volk/volk.htm

Do I come to any meets in Houston? Not as of yet,... or at least not consistently... if you know of one, PM me and I'll try to make it out.

As for suspension. Tokico Illumina shox / springs with daizen camber kit / bushings front / rear.

I like these GFG rims.

I agree with the choice of Zauber Gettin's. Those are the rims I'd get if I had $2500 to throw out there. I also like the Lorinser LM1 or the Lowenhart BR5 even though a lot of people have those. It's all about personal preference. I have a friend who has that same set of Zenetti's on his 2003 Mustang (POS), and he drives like a raving maniac, no damage done yet to the rims. What's going on that's causing these rims to fracture like that?
