pick up a set of Charlestons from CBursten or myself and some wobble bolts. You'll be the hottest dub in Charleston (pun intended). I dont think ive ever seen an MKIV pull them off. It would definately be in your price range and look killer.

if you really wanted to run those wheels, you could get adpaters to change the mkiv bolt pattern into the mkv....thats if you really wanted to.
