    Wolfrace do some good ones at half decent prices. Certainly cheaper than OZ.

    Did you have any joy finding some wheels yet, keir?

    A good way to get decent wheels on the cheap is to buy ones that are factory fitment on other cars, they're usually far better quality and weigh less than cheap aftermarket wheels. I got my OZ wheels for £30 a piece off Ebay secondhand but in absolutely perfect condition, there was literally 2 or 3 very fine surface scratches on them and that was it. They were factory fitment on a OZ Racing special edition Evo 2 or 3 (can't remember which).

    Team Dynamics do a very similar style to the OZ Super Tourismo (IIRC called the 'Pro Race 1'), but they are somewhat cheaper :)
