5k??? Are you serious... This should be moved to the suspension/tires/wheels section, but for 5k and I am sure "ARD T2" aka Rishie can help you pick something out..He has his own shop. If you have something in mind PM him and I am sure he will be one of the better prices you'll get. He is the offical "forum tire/wheel guy"...

I have the perfect pick for your budget, but no one has said it. And they're hard to get.
Anyways, yes you can fit 19" on an FD with some work. The Garage Daytona FD has 19" Advan Model 7s on it and they drift it. BUT I urge you not to go for the bling and get something more practicle than 19" bicycle wheels for the car. The weight is crazy and you'll really mess up your performance and handling, you'll chew tires, and those tires will be expensive. It would take a lot of doing to have me even consider 18" wheels.

This link should have the price chart ... get some 8.5 width for front and 10 or 10.5 for back. They're made specifically for the FD.

I think Advan model 5's are the best looking rims. Thats what im getting come this spring. plus you would have some money left over, maybe throw on a bodykit while your at it.

I like my classic mesh :
These pics are a bit dark, and coupled with the fact that I had them painted gunmetal - they are a bit hard to see. Better pics here:

Ask for the owner, Hiro. Very nice guy.
*edit*, ah - here ya go:

I might just space them out with H&R 5mm spacers, or see if Hiro can order me up just the rim halves (i'm hoping its the same center section). Really no big deal, and I have temp 225/40/18s which are skinny, so that may be contributing to the illusion. Get some 245/35/18s on there and it might even it out.
Tire selection should be 245/35/18s front, 285/30/18s rear. Hiro charged me a very reasonable $65 per wheel for disaasembling, painting and reassembling - it came out prefect. Much better in cost then one of the other sets of wheels I had on my car, the SSR Decolts that were on Adam Saruwatri's car (way back when he was sponsered by SSR). Those are now on choatica7's extremely sweet brilliant black:

Advan's are great if you have the cash for them. They're my fav rims... most of the rims (even 18inch) are under 20 lbs.
(in order of preference)
1. Super Advan Racing
2. Super Advan Gen II
3. Work Meister SZ
4. AVS Model 6
