where do I get lightweight wheels from?
I'm on a bit of a spending spree, first was cusco braces then various CR bits, etc...
My current aim is performance through reduction of unsprung weight. So I need significantly lighter wheels then brakes at a later date, but where the heck do I get them from? Spent 2 days looking and the nearest I can find is Prodrive GC07j (my favourite design) import from neweraparts.com at a wopping 2.5k!! not including import duty.
I have the followinh criteria:
- good offsets (sticking out wheels is a no no).
- ftting my current RE50s.
- 17"
-Lightweight!
cheers

could be convinced to pay more if I continue in this mood.
Im definetly not keen on paying a smal fortune for well used kerbed MF10s. I prefer the Prodrives anyway as I like simple unfussy design.
Can anyone recommend a good reliable Japanes importer site?

I was joking about ebay, they are overpriced the set on there. I paid around £1500 for a good set of MF10s, unkerbed, well looked after. They were a bit of a bargain probably. IMO they aren't a fussy design 
They don't come up that often though. Really should have kept that second set!!

I know what the options are (should do after going throught this site with a fine tooth com), my main issue is where to get then from, prefetably without the duty and $400 shipping charge.
