Default Help wasting 6k DOLLARS ;)

I doubt its been done before but Just as the title states, need a little help you guys.
As i will have 6k to spend on my is350 in the near future.
Havnt yet decided what wheels to get? Im into the agressive lip (wheel lips), and zero+ offset cause it should b sitting low as possible with a good but perfect camber
I was thinking on some Ssr Sp3 in 19"?
But would like to know whats in UR minds?
Btw the is will b stock, therefore having 6grand to spend on suspension wheels, fender rolling camber kits, tires and if possible money left maybe a nice sound system?
So let me know wassup guys, id like to hear ur ideas.
Pics n further info on products would b nice as well
(Ex. Where you purchased, how much, pics, pro's n con's of products, etc)
And thanks already to users sffd103 and Gustavo250 for already giving some advice n help on things

Coils, Wheels, Tires... If you get dope wheels + tires, you'll have ~1000-1500 leftover for coke and hookers.

If you buy nice wheels, tires, and suspension you can kiss your 6k goodbye. Unless you do all the work yourself and/or buy crappy tires.

If i were you, i would do everything to enhance the car visually. I would buy wheels for 1500-2000, tires for 800, Megan EZ coilovers for 650 or BC Racing for 975, and lastly although some people wont like this, i would buy a rep kit that has been previously tested and has good history with fitment. For example the JP Vizage rep from bayson r for 400. Painting it 300-800 depending on where you go. I personally dont mind as long as it looks spot on

For starter, if you can post your existing mods so that we don't get duplicated, then it would be a good start.

BBK would be nice if you don't already have it

Air adjustable suspension, wheels of your choice, and monies left for more appearance mods.

Then you'll be able to do this and look this good!

That's over rated! When you slam it there is Hella negative camber. When you raise it, it's perfect. That's the last thing you're worried with air. A good set of wheels and tires will cost 3-5K. Megan's about 1K. Pretty close to budget. Mod fenders. Done for now.
