I am looking for a good set of forged wheels, or otherwise lightweight wheels, not necessarily for an ITR, or even my Honda for that matter. they need to be relatively cheap...OZ racing is out of my league, $350 per wheel
any suggestions about brands, or websites to go looking?

A lot of people will probably suggest the Rota Slipstreams. It's a Spoon imitation and a set can be found for around $400 new. 11.8 lb.s a piece, but I think they are cast.

but don't come in a 5 bolt pattern
The Mag-Lite is uniquely designed, ultra light racing wheel. Weighing only 11 lbs. in 15" and 14 lbs. in 17', this wheel reduces unsprung weight and improves the handling of the vehicle. Available in Silver & Graphite finishes.

Sorry, but if you can't afford $350/wheel, you can't afford forged and/or lightweight wheels.
I am just looking for two wheels that I can use at the drag-strip with drag radials on them...I dont need that much as far as style. and thanks for the post about Axis wheels...exactly the type I am looking for.
Don't waste your time with drag radials.

My car doesnt lay down enough power to need real slicks...yet. right now its at a measly 124 HP and about the same TQ, I plan to get a larger TB, and have the IM ported to match which might give me a couple more horsepower....this car obvioiusly isnt an ITR
I bet I could'nt spin a set of slicks if I dumped the clutch at the redline.

Traction isn't your problem, lack of hp is.
