I think you will find the wheel style is superlite. Performance have made the superlite for as long as I can remember. |

Performance superlites are different to the brand 'superlite', 'minilite' in the UK. The aussie made wheels are expensive over there, so nearly nobody has them. |

I got mighterly peeved at Performance a few years ago. The dealers in the UK could sell you a Superlight wheel for much less than the going price in Oz. They got a bit stroppy when I suggested they sell me a set at the UK price - noting that the UK price included shipping half way round the world... No doubt they bitch about Internet sales ...stuff 'em. Cheers, Ian |

They are pretty expensive. I rang them to buy a wheel directly - so no piece of the pie for a wheel shop. Wanted $225 for it. I could buy the same wheel from the UK cheaper to my door! Silly, huh? The reason is because UK suppliers buy in bulk, but most aussie stock isn't even on a shelf somewhere, so even though its a 'standard' wheel, it has to be 'made' for you.

It sounds like superlites from the uk are the go. Priced a set from performance today and way out of my range. Where's the best place to buy from |

Be aware that Superlites are Super heavy, there are better light wheels about now. |
