This is what I'm looking into:
I want a very very lightweight wheel, pref. 16" or 17"
I saw a gold SSR wheel on a Blue Scooby in SCC, but I have had a hard time finding a reliable website that has a good collection of SSR wheels.
I've been to tirerack, and a few other websites but none had a good selection. I've also checked out the sponsors here as well.
I'd like to find gold wheels if possible.
Any recommendations on good website, or good quality lightweight wheels?

Racing Hart CP-035, I think they come in gold or bronze.

Yeah, if your serious about getting a light weight wheel you should get the Volk TE-37 like jotan82 suggested.
Volk wheels are hella expensive, but you get what you paid for. I have Volks on my celica and I love them. Jotan82 has Volks on his ride and I'm sure he would say the same thing. Wheels are already really expensive, why not go the extra mile and get the best!:)

i dont know why everyone thinks volk wheels are the only quality wheels out there. id hate to see te-37s on every celica out there. SSRs are top notch, i believe with their building process they manufacture stronger forged wheels than rays engineering. although i cant speak for the ones tire rack sells. the reason you see such a small collection is they can only get certain styles. the rest are only available in japan. you have to find a shop to import them. unfortunately, youre gonna have a tough time finding certain wheels in the 5x100 bolt pattern. i tried to pick some up but it wasnt available. apparently ssr japan is really blowing up in sales with their type-c, "competitions" in the us.

thanks for the suggestions
are there any recommended websites?
I checked out the Volk one... that has the huge list, but it seems like half the time i get redirected to one of the 10000000 mirror sites with the same list, or stuff doesn't load...

Volk TE-37s are pretty light, but you just can't beat Racing Hart CP-035s for lightness, unless you get into magnesium wheels or something. They come in white or gold. Contact DAZZ for these wheels, they are the importer, about $425 a piece for 17"s.
