Default help choosing wheels

hey all, i'm looking for a simple 5 or 6-spoke wheel like these. i am willing to dish out the cash for 3-piece forged, but i can't decide what company to buy from. i've heard both positive and negative from jline although i could probably get a set of 19x8.5F, 19x9.5R for about $3200. as far as work wheels, they seem to get to $3600+. i'm leaning towards a japanese company although i'm open to anything. also, i don't want any kind of chrome (i don't like chrome at all) so i'll be getting some kind of silver/aluminum finish. these are pics of the kinds of wheels i want... suggestions would be great.

Try D2 autosport. They helped me out with some wheels and they are great guys to work with. They sell Work, iForged, HRE.

Speak with Derrick. He is a great guy.

I would go with Work or BBS since you have already decided to spend the money.

I agree with jdmecivic. You can get multipiece forged rims from Derrick at D2autosports well within your stated budget.
