Quick question for y'all on these, are there any affordable nicer looking wheels and from where can i tell my brother to get them? Places like America's Tire (or so he told me) didnt really have any selection for him.

Genuine BBS Motorsport centerlock "E55" wheels. You can still order them new from BBS Motorsport. Expect to pay $4000ish+ a set and another $2000-4000 a set for all of the centerlock bits to attach them to a 240. ;-)
Buy a crusty set of 5x4.75" E50 for <$500 shipped. Buy gold paint for $40. Buy new hardware for <$100. Buy new 17" BBS rim halves for ~$1,600. Buy adapters for $350. Buy tires for $1,000. Buy lugnuts for $40. On the car for <$4,000. :-P

The rear arches on this one are a subtle touch that does allot to correct my one minor grip of the 1/2 series cars. That small rear arch, meh. I know that yellow 245/164 meld looked great and ha\e had monster rubber on the back. I'd imagine going up an inch and reducing the lip by panel bonding it would allow north of 245 tires.
