define "good performance" ...

if youre after light and strong wheels, Enkie's have always been favored but there are lots of different brands/sizes avail.  plan ahead if you expect to with with a BB kit.

Enkei's are always a good choice. Their RPF1 looks good on just about anything. Kosei K1 have many of the same properties - Light, strong, reasonably priced. And not a ripoff of another design (Like, say... every Rota wheel out there).

The Tire Rack also has a house brand of wheels -'TR'. Some of their designs look interesting.

Then, if you're a moneybags, move on to Volk (CE26n = win), BBS, SSR, etc.
Also, a variety of Work whees - Emotion CR Kai, Meister S1. Their VS XX might be a more affordable alternative to BBS... I say 'might' because I don't really know what the price range of Work wheels is.

Big Brake kit

id figure out what youre willing to spend, then find what wheels/tires fall into your budget.  not much point of looking at $3000+ wheels when at the end of the day you want to only spend half of that.

don't forget OZ wheels if you have the money for them.  They have from light to really really light.

Make sure that company is not Evolution Wheels in Surrey, unless you don't care about customer service, returns etc.
