Team dynamics has some nice 5x100 15x7's that are still available. Not as cheap as the Traklites but very good looking wheels and under $1000 a set. I see them on ebay, maybe a shop can beat ebay shipped prices? No idea on offset and I think their center holes are a millimeter small for our cars.

Eh I take that back.. the Team Dynamics 15x7 pro rally is 18 pounds. Not exactly light weight! Had no idea they were so much heavier than the pro race wheels.

That's the thing, the retailers and manufacturers treat the weight of any given model of wheel as if it is a state secret, when really it ought to be as prominent as price and dimensions.

If you wanted to go ultimate lightweight, 4 neon aluminum spares and 195's you could get the whole set to around 85 pounds. They are ugly and steering response would suck, but the inset in the wheel wells would be great for commuter mpg. I know some of the salt flat guys are using space saver spares as their race wheels for aero.

I'm daily driving the GLHT and doing the Lindbergh/P38 method - so lean it doesn't make enough power to hurt itself, do get lean misfires though.

I guess I didn't really update this thread but I did find a nice set of 15X7 Kosei K1's that a TIII GTP guy didn't need anymore. They were white So Jackson had them blasted and powder coated in satin black, powder coated the drums, added long studs from an SRT4. Because RaceCar

Good old K1s. It's hard not to like them. Although i dont think a wheel should be blacker than the tire on it.
Dont push the red button.You hear me?
Sweet! Great find. It pays to ask.
