Lightewight wheel recommendation 16"x6"
Discussion
I have a track car, which for various reasons, like small wings and the lack of availability of decent track tyres in 15x6 sizes, needs a 16X6, PCD130, ET50-55 wheel of around 5Kg/11 Lb. Can someone recommend something for track (and driving to & from)?
I have been looking for Dymags etc. OZ Ultralaggeras are nice and light, but not sure if they'd hold up to track.
Any thoughts?

Thanks to you both:
The Image wheels site looks like a good starting point.
Wildoliver: D90's is what I've got on at the moment. These are actually surprisingly heavy, comparatively speaking:
Fuchs 16x6 + 205/55 tyre 15Kg
D90 16x6 + 205/55 tyre 17.5Kg
I can't use the Fuchs on the front, as they didn't manufacture them in a high-enough offset. The D90 Magnesiums were AFAIK only made for the 964RS, and in larger sizes than 6".

Never did a D90 mag, well that isn't true they did it for a very rare c4 based rs intended for rallying.
The d90 forged was fitted to some 944 turbo's I promise you and is easily identifiable by the slight engraving on the face around the spokes.
D90 are a very good wheel, and pretty light for what they are, and very strong, cheap and resistant to damage, so ideal as a track wheel.
