Default New Velox wheels?

What do you guys think about those new Velox wheels? (PG Rev-5/7/8/10) They're forged and weigh only 11.5 pounds for a 17 inch wheel. If I could afford them, I'd put a set of 15" (if that style comes in that size) PG Rev-10's on my CRX for autocrossing. I like them cuz they're nice and clean.

only two listings shown: 17" & 18", and come with a hefy tag of $480 for the latter, and 580 for the former; that's a ton of money for knock off's. You can get a SET of rota slips (15x7 out now) for the cost of one of those 'race' wheels. smacks of a gimmick; however, don't get me wrong, they're good looking wheels, but for 500 bucks a pop, i'd take mf10's, volks, et. al. but who makes these wheels anyway? are they forged inhouse, or outsourced?

It's a beautiful rim, but I always felt that rims that were very angular and "spiky" didn't flow well with the body lines of a CRX...but that's just me. 11.5 lbs. sounds very appealing.

Very nice.

I just saw them and thought they looked real nice. Are there any nice, clean, and reasonably light wheels you guys would recommend for autox-ing and runnin' around on the street? (I'm kinda new to the whole autox thing.)

I also like those Team Dynamic "Pro Race 1" wheels, but I can never find anyone that sells them or a price.

Sweet! Thanks, those are some pretty nice prices. If I'd known about this place earlier last summer, I'd be about $640-$660 broker.

I'm in college now, though... I'm broke as a *****.
Anyone know Team Dynamic's website?
