Agreed. There's definetly more names that could be mentioned. As stated previously, your budget is a factor consdering you're gonna need tires to go with 'em. Google "custom wheels" or check some of the mentioned online sites for a package deal.

There are many other high end brand but for the price, I think those I listed are best bang for the money.
