New Wheels UNDER $4K

The boss says I can have $4K for wheels.
1. Gotta be deep dished
2. High polished, maybe chrome
3. Light wheight
4. Easy to clean
5. Swapable to a turbo
6. In this case, SIZE really doesn't matter!(18s or 19s)

Thanks for the input!

IMO Sport Technos are but. I don't think I've seen the TecArts?

not many 19" wheels for 4k. ROH modena, Raceline 3 piece forged, or 1 piece wheels.

I guess that's the only way to go when swaping, spacers. Am I gonna be stuck with certain wheels because of this? Or will almost any 996 wheel work w/spacers on a Turbo? Those are too flat again. COME ON, I WANT SOME BLING!

My place is gonna turn into a parts warehouse with all the takeoff bull****, tires hoods intakes, h/e's, etc.. You need a Trans Am hood?! LOL Taking up too much space in the basement. I've seen a couple guys squeeze 11's in the rear?

What's up with the ROH's? They're cool. I was under the impression they were ricer wheels, no?

ROH look really nice infact i think they are one of the best looking wheels out there especially in the black opal color they make, only problen is that they are a three piece casted wheel, meaning a few extra pounds and not as strong a wheel. if you want a mesh wheel Dan at Speed Gallery has a set of cargraphics for 4k. they are the only ones that make a 11" rear for a non-turbo. i believe they are silver with chrome bolts. hope this helps.

They're nice but, I think I'm leaning towards HRE 543's with a center polished hub. I want a total flat lip/dish. I found a pic and try to bring it up.
