Stern not made in Japan anymore. owned by Golden apple, makers of ADR and RS limited.
HRE not race wheel IMO either.
Fikse and Kinesis rule there.
Work for great pricing and very wide offset range depending on the wheel. A lot will come down to budget, weight, and lead time.
What kind of pricing have you found on what you're looking for?

Here are some pics of what the FM-10s look like on my black FD. These are 17x9 with 255/40 Toyo Proxes T1s (all 4 corners). I still have a set of stock rims with 245/45 BFG's, and the Fikse/Toyo combo is actually lighter.

BTW lower pic of the blue car (RXJJang) your left rear tire is flat
SpeedKing: FWIW the cleaning was necessary because, in short, they had NEVER been really cleaned before after many many years of track use/abuse. And anyone who's used race compound brake bads knows what brake dust from these pads can do to wheels if it isn't cleaned off relatively quickly. I haven't polished them since this cleaning and they still look pretty decent. But I agree, AL wheels that aren't coated can be a real PITA to keep looking nice.
