... If he's got the money, he should really look to up the budget to $5k so that he can pick up some nice 3-piece forged wheels

I've always liked the Breyton wheels that float around tirerack. The Spirit is a ridiculously nice wheel, and it's not exactly that expensive. I wanted to put the 19'' Breyton Spirit in black on my car until I realized that it's only a BMW fitment.

I'd check something like that out, or something along the line of Zenettis, Giovannas, Gianelles, etc that cost around $2-3k with wheels and tires. No one needs to spend $6k on wheels and tires, especially when they crack or bend and the tires always blow out.

5X120 bolt pattern
between +20 to +25 offset

I love the way these cars look with cross-spoke wheels. BBS RGR or for a super nice-looking bargain, ASA AR1.
