I love the look of Panasports on a Classic. Hell, I like the look of Panasports on anything!

If you can find some (most likely used), the American Racing Type 24 and Tpye 51 are 14X6 and are in the 13-14lb range.

There are several flavor of Borbet wheels that look pretty good on a Classic.

These aren't Borbet Type Ts, but they look so similar, it's difficult to tell the difference.

Not the lightest wheel though: 17 lbs

However, bang for the buck, I gotta recommend Kosei K1s. Yeah, everyone has a set. But at ~12-13 lbs for 15X7 wheels at $149 a piece, that's about as light as you'll get for that money.

Almost forgot: Rota has several nice wheels, my favorite being the Circut 8. But I have heard rumors that Rota wheels bend fairly easily.

aesthetically, i dont think there is a better wheel out there for a classic than B14 se-r wheels.... i just got some a couple of days ago, and it really just makes the car look a TON better, but still has a nice stock-ish appearance since they are OEM. only downside is weight, but i dont think they're THAT heavy, maybe 18lbs?? someone chime in here

Hey Konig makes a wheel that only weighs 11 lbs. in a 15. They don't cost that much either. I can't think of the name of them right now but a friend of mine has some and they are nice. If I can think of the name I will post it.\

Ahh they are called Heliums.
