Default Custom wheel recommendation?

Hi all. Just got a 2022 CX-5 GT and am thinking ahead to winter. Yeah, I know, what's the rush?
Anyway, I'm going to eventually put a set of snow tires on a 2nd set of rims but I'm not crazy about getting plain steel wheels on this gorgeous beast.
Has anyone bought any custom 19 inch wheels yet that they really like that won't break the bank?

What does “won’t break the bank” actually mean? $500? $800? $1200? $3000? Different folks have different budgets, what is yours exactly?

Yeah, sorry. I'd like to spend just under $300 per wheel if possible. But I'd spend a bit more if the cost was justified.

...from another western Canada CX-5 driver.... ya, you will likely be changing to winter tires in 4 months so always a good idea to be prepared ..... I always switch my tires/wheels in mid-October and mid-April

My 2019 Signature came with 19 inch wheels with Toyo 225/55R19 tires and I put 17 inch wheels and Toyo winter tires for 6 months of the year (225/65R17). These have worked well and provided good traction and good ride performance for two winters now. I found a set of original 17 inch Mazda wheels off of a 2016 on kijiji website for a very reasonable price. You might find used wheels locally or you can search on a website such as 1010tires.com ... they have several choices in your preferred price range.

Enjoy the CX-5. Awesome vehicle....!!!

Thanks to all who replied. I kept looking and found a nice set of wheels. I love the look of the Replika brand R241 in space grey. My local tire shop ordered them for me.

I also recomend using 17" wheels and either 225/65/17 or 225/70/17 tyres.
