Even though I could probably afford more, I can't justify more than 2500 or so for wheels and tires. I definitely don't want to buy any cheap junk. This post is to get opinions on a direction to go in or just forget it and stay stock. Not sure if I can get it but I want as many of the following as possible.

1. 19 inches
2. 5 or 6 spoke (not nesscarily spoke but 5 or 6 shape)
3. Quality (don't give a **** about brand-recognition just quality)
3. Chrome or polished finish (This is not set it stone but I'm in a "baller" kind of town)
4. Lip
5. Staggered setup

Looking for suggestions on wheels and stores. The sponor of this forum only has 2 wheels that fit my car and these criteria and 1 of them is ugly. The other one is the AT Italia Inox and I'm not sure if that is good quality or not. If it is, it's the only wheel on my list so far. I assume that almost everything on discountedwheelwarehouse.com and thewheelconnection.com are below ClubLexus quality standards, and none of the wheel shops I go to don't have 19s only 18s and 20s. So what do you guys think? If I order over the web can I do this for twenty-five, twenty-six? Is there any better way find rims than Google and the Yellow Pages? Anything you can think of will help. Thanks Guys

You can buy my wheels from Japan for 2400 shipped. But they are used and only 18"

For 2500 with tires, in 19", your options are very limited. 2500 for just wheels and then tires is a little different but I don't know about 2500 with tires.

You can try wheelexperts.com or GS4Will here on clublexus. Both are reputable and can help with your decision.

i think you can get some 1pc wheels from europe, mainly italy. but you probably will not have decent lips

You should take a serious look at the Captain's 18" rims & tires. Nice set up for that kinda $$$$$$$.

Alright so after some extensive web and CL forum searching, I've decided I'm going to have to go up some (maybe a grand) in budget. Some of gthe wheels that I found, that I liked on the forum were bought from gtautosport.com which appears to be out of business. What is the new best place to buy inport wheels from?

OK, I forgot that the US Dollar now buys much, much less in japan these day, So I'm not stuck on import now. There was a thread a long long time ago where someone listed all of the good wheel companies and the ones to stay away from. I can't find it in the search. Anyone know what was on it or have a link. Also, as I said before, that 2500 range got bumped up to 3500 since yesterday, thanks guys.
