Who's the OEM behind Champion wheels?

Is it Speedline?

negative - they bought the rights to the SAC (speedline america) wheels which are made in Japan.

Okay, that's consistent with the Speedline connection I had in mind.

I'm looking at offers from companies like HRE and Foregline to make a small number (say 20 sets of centres) of 'signature' wheels, much as Champion, Ruf and Cargraphic do on a large scale.

Any advice? I'm looking for the best possible quality, strength and weight for street and weekend 'track day" driving. Something like the Forgeline 3-piece with titanium hardware SX3R (http://www.forgeline.com/wheels/sx3r.html) in 18's and maybe 19's if the world goes that way.

Cheers,
