Anyone familiar with 6061 Forged Wheels?
I was looking around for wheels and stumbled across the 6061 Forged A5LW. The 17x7 apparently only weighs 13.5 lbs and they're available for relatively cheap (239/wheel). It looks like they cater mostly to the Honda community but they're available for the Integra which has the same bolt pattern and a very similar offset as the mini.
Has anyone heard of this brand? Will they fit our Minis? Are they good quality wheels? They seem like they'd be a fantastic choice for a track wheel.

They only list vehicle models, no info on bolt circle, hub diameter or offset. Good looking wheel, avail in 17 and 19" only.

I love how they make a big deal about their wheels being made from 6061 aluminum (even going so far as to name their company after the alloy), when that's actually a very common alloy that's used for lots of things. In fact, I'd bet that most of the forged aluminum alloy wheels on the market are using 6061.
