Starcorp racing are quite light weight and good value for money. Mania sell them...

whats your budget?

I would get some work cr kai plus 28 offsets or.

weds TC105N plus 20 offset

both are 15 x 7 - the weds are about 300 a rim but are forged and weigh next to nothing. the work ones are just under 200 a rim but look the goods in black. just my opinion. and you are best to import these direct from japan.

check any of the direct import sites - perfectrun.com.au seem to be the cheapest I have found.
98 evo gold - rotrexed and loving it.

I'm not too sure what my budget is
It all varies on my panel quote I'm getting other work done too while shes at the panel shop

I can tell ya my budget isn't big at all
I prefer 15\" reason being is I won't have to fork out a set of tyres right now

If these are it they don't look too bad

apparently it comes in chrome silver or white on the mania site but no other sites have it in anything other than shadow chrome

$170 each in 15" ~5kg or $200 in 16" ~6kg

Tempe Tyres have them but they don't seem to have silver

Price isn't too bad either $720 with Rubber or $1000 for 16"

Anyone got it on there car yet Pics please :D
