tempe are the ultimate if you want cheap prices on chromies. if you don't like chromies, or have an old car, they're farkin useless bastards.
Neale's wheels are great for rare PCD/offsets.
Baulkham hills tyres have always treated me well. they stock a pretty good range of ROH and other common brands, and do good package deals.

Dood,
You seem seriously worried about your car bursting into flames
but seriously i have done some research on exactly what you are after and from my experience to get something similar to buddyclubs or Rays or Enkie or something light its going to be a private import from Japan and expect to pay at least $500 per wheel.
There is a joint that 4agte put me onto in chatswood called cheaper tyres or something its on the highway. anyway they can import what ever you want but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and the rays they were talking about were not exactly light anyway 
I also looked at getting some custom built wheels locally, but again you are looking at the 450-500 mark and again they were not that light either. Simmons were very nice and you can specify exactly what you want in terms of width offset finish etc but the weight even using there race option construction....not reccommended for road use still no lighter than my 10 YO ROHS that i use with the race tyres.
There is a guy also that i got to speaking with from Taren PT beaurepairs, he used to work in NZ and is chasing up some contacts, just ask for Richard he was pretty helpful but was still researching for me last time we spoke about a week ago

I can get buddy clubs from a couple of places for around 390 a wheel. Just looking for somewhere that can do me a deal on them with rubber. instead of 2 places. To lower the cost.

fair enough,
what model and offset were the buddy clubs you were looking at, do you have any pics ?
Also i know they are not buddy clubs but thos 15x6.5 you are selling tempe also can get them in a 16 x 7 they are actually pretty light, but not much to look at IMO plus you could only get them in an ET 40.
sure ET 40s fit fine but just dont work as well as an ET 28 on an AW11
