I love the way these wheels look but...

I'm guessing you know about tire rack, edge racing and the like? I just did 18s, lost 6 lbs per corner from the stock 16s and spent $700 total. Not the exact wheel I was looking for and was worried about the ride, but was pleasently surprised by the softer ride.
I agree with you about the look, but that's how I compromised. I mean after the focals, H&Rs, and the 22 rear sway, something had to give.....

Discount Tire Direct
Try Discount Tire Direct. The have Koenig Britelites or Litebrites. I don't remember the exact name. They have a machined face with black inside the spokes like you picture. They were $100 to $120 if my memory is working. The spokes aren't as curved as the ones you show. Again from memory, I think they were a resonable rate and the offset was 42. See what you think.

or these (they also come in silver)
http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...t/60-1350.html
Both are a decent, light wheels at affordable prices.

Also try the 4x100 classifieds over at www.vwvortex.com, you'll fnd some interesting items over there - the wheel you pictured looks like an older Enkei design if I remember correctly... there are also Porsche phonedials and 944 wheels that look great on the Mini with adaptors (but weigh a ton). eBay also has a few, but be wary there. That is one impressive list by Sandtoast, though!
