Default Going CrAzY from searching for wheels...

Alright, I've been on the market for new wheels for a while now. And in my extensive internet research I found some brands I've never heard of but are insanely lightweight. Here's the list:

Dymag Motorsport
Enkei ES Tarmac
Impul NS-01R
J's Racing PR6
Joustmeister
Kyoho Tracer
Modex
Monster Sport
Circle Racing
Wed's RS-5
Stern Mach III
Stern Aguzze S07
Rozest MF02
Roja Formula 5
Technocast Corsia

In my spare time at work I've looked all over the place and found little info on these wheels besides their weight. And some sites are in Japanese! I have also heard of a Mazda Sorts wheel that is a 16x7 and only weighs 13.1 pounds. And the SSR Type V (same size) weighing in at 13. Could ANYBODY provide me with any info on any of these wheels I listed ...where I could purchase, prices etc....
I would be very grateful. Also if a website is in Japanese, is there some way that the computer can translate it? Thanks.

That is probably the best mostly because most of the rims you listed are not imported by anyone in particular, and these guys will export anything you want. The prices on their parts is very reasonable, but shipping is pretty bad.

If you can find a set of those Joustmeisters, you let me know. Those are really nice wheels.

If your sweating it that bad you probably won't be happy with any wheel you get.

Just fish a name out of a hat and get it.

I'm not really stressin too much about the rims...I just wanted a lightweight performance wheel for a street and autocross setup. I need a reasonably priced wheel and I kinda wanted to be more original than Rota Slipstreams. I thought I might get lucky and find something else just as light for a good price. Thanks for your help.

I have ROH reflex wheels that I use in the winter. They are pretty light and can be bought for real cheap.

But if it's for autox who care's what they look like. My times never went down for being original.
