Default Grown and Sexy wheel help needed

Well as i stated above i need help.... i have progressed from swapped hatchbacks to sliding sil80's to my current vehicle. 07 IS 250. I got silver becuase it just has that simple super clean look, its hard to explain. I bought the car with no intentions of heavily modding it i just want to lower it with the right wheels and a lip kit. I remember back in the days durring our honda meets those guys that would pull up in IS300's with hre's or work wheels and i would always just drool saying someday i would have something like that. Trouble is being in the army i dont have a 5k budget for wheels and i dont want to buy used. Can anyone point me in the right direction of a decently priced wheel (probably 19's) that resemble the Volk GTU or Work VS-XX. Those of you who know those wheels know the look im talking about. My budget for wheels with tires is pretty much maxed at 2,500.Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

ok.... well i am actually pretty pleased with the wheels i just found but i wonder about the fitment. sizes are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 i know the 8.5's have an offset of +35. the offset of the rears are not listed but im thinking probably the same. the tires that are included in the package are 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. Any advice on how this might look? i found a really nice set from axis and the staggered combo with tires and everything are coming in just under 2,000. which leaves me plenty of cash to grab the megan coils ive been reading about on here.
