Best wheels for around $1k

Best wheels for around $1k
I'm looking for stock replacement wheels (I plan to move my current tires to these rims), and I'd like to know what you all think would be the best for around $1k for the whole bunch. Obviously if there are some that you feel are just as good for less, that's great.
Thanks for the help, as I'm a new TSX owner and I just can't get used to the "white" look of the stock wheels.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but can't you pick up the Acura extra rims for $1k? I like the Silver Stars, granted they are 17s, but still. They look nice and are different enough from stock...If all this guy is concerned about is having his rims look nice maybe he should check out Acura's own add-ons...

Here, let's change the question. If you were getting new wheels for your brand new, 2006 TSX, which wheels would you get, assuming you would like to try not to buy the most expensive wheels out there?

Have you checked Tirerack.com they got some nice set of wheels for decent price like BBS and Gram Lights 57s for around 200 each wheel so roughly around 1k for all 4 wheels. There're other brands but some are way too much for your budget.

Damn I had no idea g-games were that cheap. It is tempting but I'd rather wait and get the weds.

That being said, I still haven't found any wheels that really stick out to me. I know I'm picky, but I'm not going to spend $2 - 3k on a set of wheels and tires if I'm not 100% sure I'll love them.

Did you go to www.tirerack.com like i suggested? They have a function where you can pick the specific wheel that goes with the TSX they even show what the wheel looks like on the TSX. There's some good name brands there like Gram Lights which is made by Rays Engineering same company that makes the Volk Racing wheels. BBS are German brand they're pretty well known, same as O.Z. they're Italian brand. If you're looking to go JDM you can go with the Gram Lights since they're made in Japan.
