I don't believe they make Kosei anymore in a 15x7 5 lug pattern. They still make them four lug for all the Miata drivers.
I went with Team Dynamics as well. I didn't wait, so got them in a +35 offset. Got them from Good-Win Motorsports.
I just spoke to TROY at Real Wheel:
15x7 aluminum wide five wheel is 7.0 lbs (thats seven) at 169.93 a piece
and adaptors to go from 5x4.5 to wide five are 132. each!!
Also figure approximately 3 1/2 weeks lead time!!
Also Chris Rallo look at Douglas wheels in Jegs catalog 15x14 is 10.75 lbs!!!

Just talked to Troy too. Yes, the wide five is 7.0 pounds but it must be used with the wide five adapter that weighs 5.0 pounds for a total wheel weight of 12 lbs. The advantage to these wheels is if you bend them the wheel is fairly cheap to replace at $169.93 as you are not paying for a center.

I have a set of Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 and a set of Volk TE-37s in 15x7. The Volks are 11 lbs and the TDs are 13 lbs. I just got a couple more Volks a few months ago because one of mine cracked. I paid more for two Volks than I did for all 4 TD wheels. I probably wouldn't have done it if I didn't already have 3 of them. You can get the Volks in white and I'm in the process of painting all of mine black.
TD can pretty much make any offset/bolt pattern you want. I had mine made in a particular offset. It'll just take a couple months to get them. A set of 4 TD wheels will run you $600. Just call them direct.

Ok, Spinwerkes info. The number, which was damn hard to get ahold of, is 562-467-1522. Talked to Peggy and she provided a racer discount with quantity purchase of eight to twelve wheels, $208 each, 1-5" in back spacing in 0.25" increments. The wheel would be 11.2 lbs which is quite good considering price/weight.
www.keizerwheels.com/ Very light and very accommodating. Chuck

Thanks for that link. I called and talked to Wade, they seem like good folks and are located in Iowa. For 15x7s they do three piece wheels and they range in weight from 9.75 lbs to 11.5 lbs, typically most around 10.5-11.0lbs. Made in the USA, not inexpensive though, at $446 per wheel if you were to buy twelve wheels. $525 each for a set of four. Any backspacing and wheel bolt pattern can be had, backspacing in 1/4" increments. Quick availability, 1-2 weeks. Easily repaired and easily available.
I forget who I ordered my TE37s through, but they had very good customer service. I can look it up if anyone cares. It will take 2-3 months to get them as they get made in Japan and then come over on a boat.
