They look very nice, but it always makes me laugh when peeps ask for advice yet do their own thing anyway. You were right all along

Nah, I needed the information from this thread to narrow down my requirements - specifically, how light a wheel I was going to need to find not to be worse off than where we started. I was tempted by the offer of the 1.8iS 5 spokes, but the wife wasn't - too similar to the existing wheels. The other options were just too expensive.

These

Not the most fashionable of brands, they seem to have slipped from the top of the price range to the bottom, but they're nice and light and they look OK to me. Not exactly JDM, either, but then it is a pastiche of a British car, so perhaps a British alloy isn't so inappropriate wink
