Wheel Brands?

Anyone got any recommendations on what brands of wheels are good and/or what aren't?
For example, I was looking at TSW VX1's but they've been discontinued but I found some similar ones (
http://www.proline-wheels.de/Designuber ... R/p_r.html) by Proline but I've no idea if they're any good.
Or are there some other brands that I should be looking at?

Koyo Wheels?

Well I'm now looking at a set of
Koya Wheels. Anyone heard of them? I've been told they are rebranded Lenso which is fine with me. I _think_ the ones that are being ordered in for me are the K-65's at the bottom of this page (
http://www.koyawheels.com/koya_sport.html). With a set of Toyo tyres (can't remember the model), I've been quoted about $1500 fitted.
The other ones I'm looking at (look almost identical) are 068 Shadow Chrome (
http://ozzytyres.com.au/wheels_more.php ... &mag_id=31). For these with the same tyres I've been quoted $1700 fitted. I don't know what brand these ones are though, I gather "OzzyTyres" isn't a brand as such...
Can anyone shed any light on either of these wheels?

I like the K68s from Ozzys - are you getting 18s?
$1700 with tread isnt too bad.
no current price on Enkeis - just open to offers.

Nah, I figured 17's would give me a good combination of ride comfort, looks and handling. She's also lowered 50 - 60 mm so the general recommendation has been to stick with 17x7 to avoid any issues, any bigger and I could start having rubbing issues according to the few tyre and wheel mobs I've spoken to.

BBS are more widely use on F1, La-Mans, Euro Touring....etc.

Hmm $1700 for 17s... that seems a lot to me.
Theres nothing at Tempe you like?
However im contemplating spending $3000 on 17s without rubber
