If you had $3,000, what rims/tires would you buy?
Ok, you have $3,000. What rims are you buying?

We've got a lot of options. Most won't cost you 3k either. But I really wanna see a set of American Racing Torq Thrust on a 5th gen. Haven't seen it done yet and I'm thinking it would look tuff as nails. Maybe a black set with a polished lip.

I did have 3k, and I got F14's and Nitto Invos for 2600... and they look great in the desert sun, fat 315's on a 11 inch wheel in the rear..

Havent found these in US market
9,5x20 front. 10,5x20 back. RE F538 Tires Well some quality front tires for sure. But back tires... You have V8 so some cheap ones. Maybe even 2 pairs.

I spent about 3K on my TSW Doningtons 22x9 and 22x10.5 with Pirelli PZeros 265s and 315s. If you want 20s I recommend the F14s, but I wanted 22s and the 22s were not available in those when I got my wheels.

If your talking rims and tires then the Forgestar F14's and Invos, If just wheels I'd say the CCW SP16a's.

My most popular wheels at that price range are indeed the Forgestar F14 wheels. Lightweight, custom offsets, max width tire fitment. The only thing close, in my opinion, are the TSW wheels, but they do not fit as perfectly since the offsets are set as a compromise for a range of vehicles.
