I guess I'll go with another set of Axis....
What about the Enkei GTC02's I use? Or something from Apex?

The Enkeis are okay but seem a little heavy. Not the end of the world. They look awesome in silver too.
Apex are okay. They kinda have a design I like.
In all honesty, I'll probably end up going with Enkei.

21 lbs for a non forged 18x10.5 seems pretty good to me.

There is also the Konig Hypergram in 18x11 and 19.4lbs. Also only like $320/each

I have Konig Milligram's and they are solid. one of the big touring car series here used them as a control wheel and they had no issues bashing kerbs n stuff with them either.

You can think of Konig Flow formed as the same quality as an Enkei wheel as they license the technology from Enkei. I also have run the milligrams for quite some time (on track) without issues.

I have SSB trailing arms and rolled rear fenders. What do you mean by shaved?

mine's cut lip, not rolled. 18x11 ET40 might still work, mine rubs a hair on the side of the tire threads going over dips at highway speed (with heavy track gear box in the trunk). also needs short 60mm springs

I was running 18 by 11s and still had rubbing though I pulled the hell out of my quarter panels. It definitely takes extra work.

I'm not ready to do that. I can't really lower the car too much since i have a high curb for my driveway, and i've seen too much carnage from others going off track. plus i sometimes carry an extra set of tires/wheels and 25gallons of extra fuel
