Default Who makes an inexpensive lightweight 15x7 wheel?

I'm thinking something like the price range of the rota, only in a 15x7 instead of 15x6.5 (4x100 bolt pattern). A cast wheel is fine, as that is the pricerange I am looking for.

These are what I know of:

--Buddy Club (hard to find)
--5zigen (a little more expensive)
--Kosei K1 (a little played out now)

Anyone else?

Stern Aguzze. Really cheap and 15x7

edit: near impossible to find a 4 lug version... I thought I was in the ITR forum for a second

Try volk gram lights from Mach III, I believe they are 200.00 each shipped. Excellant fit and finish.

Forgot about the Gram lights.

cannot find a Stern in a 4x100 bolt pattern anymore.

And no way I am driving my SSRs on the street! They are a bit more than $250/wheel too...

Might be less than that. The 17's are on GBC for 595. He says the price on 15's is too low to post.

The Axis mag lights look strange to me. Looks like they may be more prone to bending. Are these forged or cast?

Dan Phan is getting a custom one from Rota for $400 - $450. I forget if he is on this site or not, maybe he is on ClubSi.

Buddy Club P1 SF's can be purchased from Aj-racing, or even *cringe* Modacar.

I've been told that 15x7-inch Rota Slipstreams are on the way, so you could add them to your list.

Besides the obvious 1/2", what is the difference between a 15" X 6.5" wheel and a 15" X 7" wheel.

You can still put a 195 or 205 series tire on either, correct? maybe you can't put a 215 on a 6.5" wheel

Someone mind explaining?
I am in the market for a set of wheels as well. Still stuck between 15" or 16"

In the real world, it is hard to tell the difference. I go between 15x7 (Kosei K1) and 15x6.5 (Rota) wheels on my Miata, and the difference isn't that great. But, as we have found, in the world of 10/10ths, the extra half inch can make the tire happier, even though you're adding a little more weight to the wheel. Basically, the extra grip offsets the extra weight.
