04 Silver Coupe - Looking for the ideal set (not on the walmart budget)

So I'm looking for wheels, and there's a lot out there to consider besides looks... however, sometimes the information is hard to find. So I'm looking for advice.

I'm looking for something that is:
- Similar in color to the stock 7 spokes 18's (Machine silver, matte silver, or otherwise looks good with the standard dark silver (DG?) coupe).
- Lightweight, I don't want some 35 pounders. I want them to be no more than equal in weight to the stock 18's, preferably closer to the weight of the 19" rays
- 19" or 20"
- staggered obviously, and step lip or concave

A couple that have caught my eye for reference:
Vossen CV2
Tenzo Type M
RAYS Volk Racing GT30 (Can I even find these any more? These are one of my favorites)
RAYS Volk Racing RE30
WORK Gnosis GS4
WORK VS-XX
WORK Varianza T1S

Can you guys point me toward my dream wheels? Just a heads up, I'm not a fan of the 5-spoke look, so not interested in anything like that. Money is an object, and I'd like to spend as little as possible. But I know better than to just skimp on quality. Still, I'd definitely like to keep this under $4000 (If I'm really lucky, under $3k!) Im also a Nor'easter, so these will probably see a bit of weather, if that's in any way relevant.

I appreciate the help guys.

So true. When you see them, you'll know lol.

With that being said, everyone and their grandmas have run T1S's on G/Z's, so you know they look good. TE37's are a pretty classic choice too. I've always been partial to BBS LM's as well. Wedssport's are nice lightweight wheels. Mmmm, so many choices.

Some of these Wedssports look pretty nice, are they well made?

Only I can decide what my dream wheel is, but someone else can definitely point me toward them.

Weds are strong and lightweight. Nicely priced for JDM wheels...

Got a set of SA55m here waiting to be mounted once Spring comes. It's too damn cold outside

Weds are great wheels! A friend of mine had a set of Cerebrus's and they were awesome.

Hopefully I helped point you in the right direction haha.
