Higher end wheels are Japanese for the most part. Volk Racing, Racing Hart, Advan, Work, and Blitz.

Re: Hierarchy of Wheel Manufacturers

OZ has Superleggere I and III out. Both are good as they are lightweight and strong. The Superleggera III are three-piece forged wheels and so are consequently considerably more expensive than the I's. In fact, i myself was interested in them but when tirerack quoted me a price of over $700 for one wheel, I decided to look at others. Another wheel worth looking into are the SSR GT 1 and GT 3. Those are also really good wheels as they are also light and strong but also weigh even less than the OZ wheels.

Re: Hierarchy of Wheel Manufacturers

SSR are good also but not as strong as the others I mentioned since they use semi-solid forging. Still, much stronger than cast wheels and very light. You should add those to the list. Lorenhart and some of the others are also good but I'm unsure of their manufacturing process. If going big you want to stay with a forged wheel which are much less likely to bend on potholes.
