I have just spoken to Performance Wheels about Superlites. Here's some info:
1. Contact is Peter Walker, please ask for him when dealing direct with
Australia, he knows the score now. BTW - here is the contact info again:
Performance Wheels
60 Kinkaid Ave
Nth Plympton
SA Australia 5037
+61 8 294 9455 or FAX +61 8 294 1926
2. They are not affiliated with Performance Industries USA in Miami FL.
3. They have an agent in California:
Auto Systems Group
6644 San Fernando Road
Glendale CALIFORNIA 91210
Tel: 818-956-7933
Fax: 818-956-5160
4. They are happy to supply directly from Oz but you must arrange shipping.
They can tell you the weight and volume of an order of wheels, and suggest
a range of carriers to use, but they don't arrange the shipping. :-(
5. The wheels are available only in an aluminium alloy, not magnesium. The
approximate weight for various wheels is shown below.
6. The wheels are available in a number of preset offsets, and they can not
offer other offsets. The wheels are available in a range colours. Mike
Gigante says they made up his wheels to specific offset and width, maybe
he swung a deal? The sales rep definatly said that no other offsets could
be offered. Any comment Mike?
7. Technical data:

7. Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with any of this. Someone asked about the
company, I live in the same town, I am a nice guy and know how to use a
phone. I take no responsibility for the accuracy of information, this was
all done over the phone.
End of story.
Cheers,
Paul.
