Hi everyone!
I'm looking for a set of wheels for my car and I was wondering if any of you can provide me with a list of wheel companies that make high quality (or mid-level quality), racing inspired wheels I should be looking at. So far I've looked at 5Zigen, Enkei and Motegi. Are these brands any good? Are there better?
Thanks in advance!

P.S. I've also looked at Gram Lights 57 series and I really like their design.

I love 5Zigens, the Hyper and Copse are their best, IMO.

I run Motegi rims on my car, I love them.. I think they look great. If you want a true lightweight racing inspired rim, go with Volk. :iceslolan
Shpyder- those 5Zigen Copse's look great, I almost bought a pair but I found out they were discontinued.

Thanks guys! Can any of you comment on Enkei and 5Zigen quality? (I like the wheel designs of these two companies)
Also, I just noticed that Volk Racing and Gram Lights seem to be made by the same company - Rays Wheels. Is it safe to assume that these two brands are of the same quality? I really like the look of Gram Lights.
Thanks again!

I got Volk Racing on my G35 Coupe and the quality is up there. I got them from Kronen Autosports in Artesia, CA. I think that they also carry 5Zigen and Motegi but I have not had any experiences with those wheels.
