Default lightweight alloys (help me spend some more money)

Hi all I have finally given up with using spacers etc to make my OZ Prodrive wheels fit my AP 6 pot brakes. It seems to be to much of a compromise after spending so much on brakes and handling mods to then use cheap spacers.

So I am looking for new wheels that are good quality and lightweight. They must however be gold to go with the rally blue look. And they also must have a good off set as they need to fit over very big AP front brakes. Any one got suggestions

I am ideally looking for something different that my current oz which I do love but if I am spending all this money again I think a new look is in order. I do like the look of the PFF7 Original Prodrive Rims but they do seem a little pricey and not sure about the off set or the weight of these items. There are also loads of copies available but again some info on quality and weight would be great.

Open to any ideas so your input would be very welcome

Thanks

Chris

You could try 2001-2004-5 UK (or Jap) STI wheels.

Or get the P1WRCs in 46 offset which is designed to fit the STI's Brembos.

Whatever you try,try b4 you buy.

Where can these be bought from? I am also looking for a set.
They are lighter than stock WRX wheels.
