Default Need suggestions for forged wheels...

Hi everyone. I have a friend who owns a 04' Lincoln LS and has been wanting to purchase some 20's for his car but has no clue about wheels. I give him the basic lessons of cast vs. forged wheels etc. He told me today that he is going to purchase some 20" forged wheels from MHT. I asked him the price and he told me $5000 with tires. He thinks it's great a deal but I don't really think so. He asked why the objection and I told him that some wheel companies have a better forging process than others. I don't recall MHT Forged wheels as very high quality, especially not for $4000. I told him I would get back to him with suggestions. He is willing to spend $5000. I am trying to steer him towards companies like Maya, HRE, AutoCouture, Lowenhart, etc. Can you guys help me with some suggestions?

Here is the style he is looking at:

Based on the picture on that link I'm going to say a good/better alternative would be the Auto Couture Supreme
