My suggestion is to get the lightest wheel you can and roll with that. This is why my DD has Rota Slipstreams; lightweight and cheap. Styling is okay, but I dont care about it as much, especially on gunmetal wheels with polished lip.
I've been reading about wheels and learned there are a couple of different ways they are made. You can get cast wheels or forged. There is low pressure (OE wheels) and high pressure casting (rivals forging). But the ultimate in strength and light weight, forged is the way to go.
However, in most forged wheels the final design is machined into the face using CNC mills. Which can create interruptions in the grain of the alloy and reduce its strength.
Then there is mold forging which I read is very difficult, very expensive and very few companies can do it.

Stop caring. Also, google it if it matters so much.

What do you think of these wrapped in Perelli's size 18x8 all around on a Black 1992 Supra?

Go surf tirerack's rim selection and get some 17x8's +40 and be happy.
The more pieces the rim the more money it generally is. Love the look of 3 piece rims though. But they come at a great price. There really isn't much advantage in multi piece rims except weight some of the time.
Just drop the coin on some TE37s (Or whatever 6-spoke Volk rim comes in dark bronze/gold) they are very light and would look nice on a black car. But thats just my opinion.
^ TE37 ARE WIN!!! I was going to get a set but ended up with enkei RPF1's since they are 1/2 the price.
I have a set of 18x8" Enkei gunmetal PK-6s on my white package (off of the old MKIV). The only difference is they have a lip and a little bead on the edge of the spoke. I think 6 spoke is the way to go just because its nice and even and 4 spoke looks just wrong.
