Budnik wheels are pretty dope too.
I've seen so many that it's all kind of a blur. After awhile you realize everyone is just ripping off everyone else's design and everyone is kinda making slightly varied versions of the same freakin' wheel.
Personally im a fan of 3-piece wheels, but they're the most expensive. At the very least you should opt for a 2-piece so you can control the backspacing to get that maximum "deep-dish" look.

Love the 3 piece wheels but at $1,500/pop (on the low side) when I'm also trying to convince the wife to let me put EFI in and finally fix the damn AC (compressor's shot; it's 'zinging' the timing belt whenever I rev it at idle so there are clearly some valve issues in there).
The extent of my leverage is "you want me to get an SUV, if you let me turn the camaro into more of a daily driver, I'll get the damn regular SUV instead of insisting on some 500 HP monster like the Trackhawk or an M4 convertible or the new ZL1 or some other crazy shit"....
That is...uh...not excellent leverage. And I can't even say I'll hold off on buying the new SUV because she wants me to get on it now so I can get that paid off and she can turn around and trade-in her truck. I have dick for an argument here other than selling my motorcycle and that's the trump card that I need to **** my secretary or something. That can get me whatever the hell I want so I'm not using it on
wheels.
I'm going to desperately try to do this for $2k in wheels/tires but I suspect that's a losing bet. The tires absolutely have to be replaced - they're old and the chemical composition is spent. But the 8 inchers in the front are too wide and I get fender rub so now's the time to just move them to 7 inchers so I can take the rubbers out of the springs and get that raked look back.
But the issue is, as you said, there are so damn many manufacturers and choices out there that I just sit there and stare until my eyes glaze over and I decide to do actual work, which is somehow a more attractive option than wheel shopping.
