2013 Nismo Wheels

TSW Bathurst. Around 21-22lbs for the 19x9.5 and 10.5. About $1200-1300 for the set. Which leaves you some $$ for the tires.

Edit: since you are pricing these out. I should prob mention that given the offsets they are available in you'd probably wind up wanting 15-20mm spacers all around. Which does two things: adds some $ to the whole thing $150-200 and adds a bit of weight. However, the same could be said for the Nismo wheels posted above and they are pricier per set $1500-2000 generally (dependant on condition).

I was thinking he's probably going to need some rubbers to drive on.

Rohana's or Stance's new rotary forged wheels. Find a wheel in your budget with the correct offset from the get-go. Do your research. No need to buy a set of wheels with higher offsets, knowing you will need spacers, like I almost did with some new TSW's.

Good point.

For me, if I can't have a customized/exact offset then a 5mm spacer or a 15 makes little difference. So the difference between a Nismo wheel and the TSW Bathurst (or others that don't have exact offsets) is nil in my world. They both/all need spacers for flush fitment.

With that in mind, the ForgeStar wheels are a great choice for both price and spot on offsets since they are customizable. They are within the OPs budget as well. Probably some other brands that both meet the buyer's budget and offer offset customization.
