100$ each is a nice price i think

ok thanks guys for the input..i'll check all thoose out
( i'm on a limited budget for parts like that on my car cause i am currently doing prototypes ( $$$) for car parts and that mtakes alllll my money away )

 

Stern Aguzze S07's, available in a 15"x7" wheel. I know they are available in 4x100 bolt pattern, but I'm not sure about the 114mm pattern.

Most of the Rotas are all 6.5" wide in a 15" wheel, which I would imagine would make for quite a sloppy ride on a 225 tire.

EDIT: The Stern Aguzze S07'S are available in your bolt pattern at http://www.machiii.net

That's a smokin' deal and they don't look to hateful either!

 

The higher sizes, (e.g. 16, 17+) are all forged. The 15" size however is cast, and is right on par, weightwise, with the Rotas. Rotas usually weigh 12 lbs but are only 6.5" wide, and these weight 13 lbs but are 7" wide. These have always been a relatively inexpensive wheel like the Kosei, but I think I heard that they discontinued them. I'm just mad I haven't been able to find them in 4x100 pattern for my car.

If you'll notice, they are only selling them in white, and only in that bolt pattern, so I'm pretty sure it's a clearance/special deal. I've heard of a few people dealing with them before, and they seem to be good guys (as in expect your wheels in new condition within 7 days of ordering). I haven't personally dealt with them so take this with a grain of salt.

FYI - Stern is a Japanese company, and these wheels were really popular about a 1-2 years ago because they are a cheap, lightweight wheels, much like Rotas.

 

You beat me to it.

I bought a set of Tein HA's from Walee at MachIII a year or so ago. Everything went smoothly.

My only concern about the Stern wheels would be availabilty. It would suck to bend one and then not be able to find a replacement.

 

I also found this link which lists 5x114 wheels: http://www.g-speed.com/pbh/wheels.html

Slightly OT: Does anyone know of a good, relatively cheap (on par with Rotas and the aforementioned Sterns) 15"x7" wheel available in a 4x100mm pattern? I was deadset on the Stern Aguzzes and I could have sworn that http://www.machiii.net was selling a 4x100mm 15"x7" Stern Aguzze S07 but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong now. I would rather not use a 6.5" wide wheel (e.g. ALL Rotas), as I'd rather sacrifice weight for a stiffer sidewall.

Kosei K1... that's about it. I did this search a while back. There's the high-end stuff (SSR, Volk, Mugen(volk) ), then there's some stuff by OZ and Team Dynamics, Kosei, then there's the cheap stuff like the Rota's or the Konig Helium.

There's a problem with virtually everything I mentioned. The first group costs a fortune, the OZ Supertourismo has an offset I personally didn't want ( +37), the Team Dynamics (which actually have one particular cheapish wheel I wanted) have limited distribution. I really dislike the look of the K1, and the cheap stuff is only 6.5".
