I got my rotas Locally (Las Vegas) 15X6.5 $100 each, 11.8 lbs. Rota did make a limited production run of Slipstreams in 15X7. Worth it if you can find them.


You can get a set of Kosei K1's at the tire rack. 15X7 $129 each 13.5Lbs



ASA LW5's look decent 15X7 $119 each 14.5LBs



O.Z. Superleggera 15X7 $200 each 11.5LBS


Finally if you have a lot of $$$$$

SSR Competition 15X7 $299 each 9.3lbs

only problem with them is that I've heard that they tend to bend under High cornering loads.

SSRs are flexible. Miata guys here bitch about them coming out of round after not a very long time. Stay cheap.... there isn't too much reason to get expensive wheels to autocross. You're gonna put them on and take them off, tires going on and off frequently... they'll get messed up.
Another cheap one... but you gotta look hard to find them is Stern Aguzze S07s... I've seen them for about $500 a set, but they don't make them any more. Konig Heliums and greenlights are cheap, and around 11 lbs.
