Lightweight Wheels

I'm looking for some lightweight wheels for occasional (weekend) street use and wet weather track use at club road racing events. I know about Panasports, and I've looked at brands like 5Zigen. I have an '84 GSL-SE (4 X 114.3mm PCD) and want 15" X 7" wheels. Any other brands I should look into?

I use some old school gold BBS wheels, they are lightweight alluminum. I love them, you pick some up from the bargain bin on Beat.

Thanks for the suggestions. I looked at some Konig wheels today, and the prices are good. I'm frankly a little worried at just how low the prices are -- you know, if it looks to good to be true . . . At any rate, I want to run Hoosier R3S03s in 205/50 front and 225/45 rear. The minimum recommended rim width for the 205/50 is 6.5", while the minimum recommended for the 225/45 is 7". Has anyone run this combo? If so, any recommendations on offset? Any interference problems?

I found some great 15x7 enkei rims at a salvage yard. Look around, you can find some great stuff.
