Default Wheel recommendation for 370z

I've been itching to replace my OEM Sport rays 19" to Aftermarket wheels but don't really know which wheels to get. I'm looking to stick to 19s or 20s. I don't really have plans to do anything crazy to my wheels just literally replacing my rays for a new look. My budget would be $1300 - 2k. Willing to spend more if I have to but I would rather stick below 2k price. My eyes are currently on Work wheels but any recommendation are welcome just want something to match my 09' Monterey blue 370z. My Z would be the one on my profile pic for reference. Here are the wheels that I currently have my eyes on

If your budget is that low. I guess ForgeLines are out of the question.

No chance of getting anything good at that budget esp when u factor in new 19 inch tires unless u hit the used market

U can look into forge star, I guess

Wheel 1 or 2 look great, but you will not be able to get them for $2k new. New tires will set you back another $1k-$1600. Save a little longer and buy what you want the first time. Don't settle. Buy once, cry once.

Wish the GS2 weren't discontinued. They look great on the Z.

Not sure where you are shopping, but Work wheels for your price range will be in the used category with imperfections or just a lucky find.

I'm happy with my Avant Garde wheels. They would be in your price range, new w\o tires. Jason at getyourwheels helped me out when I was wheel shopping.

Figure out how big of tires you want to use & weather or not lowering is in the future...many,many combo's fit the Z.

Does OP realize that a 3 piece wheel like the Work Gnosis series will run at least $800-900 per wheel?

Even stuff on sale is around $3500:
https://www.ravspec.com/?s=gnosis&post_type=product

Gotta rethink that budget or what you're lookign for

and i sure as hell won't drop $3500 on wheels that are the same size as stock. If i'm paying that much for wheels, they're going to be aggressive as hell
