Shop around. You'll be bound to see some deals. I would consider getting some custom made ones for that sort of money. Perhaps in a 50mm profile. If you go the big brands, be prepared to spend more than your budget. Anything more than 50mm profile will be annoying in cross winds. Allow some money in your budget for brake pads to suit also.
