NT roads are pretty good actually.
a lot of $$$ gets poured into our highways... why? cos they need to be safe when doing "excessive speed"
i think the darwin guys will also agree.. plus. our roads are the youngest in australia! the highway gets resurfaced every 8years (in stages) so we always have smick smooth roads. 8)

Any forged alloy wheel is going to be extremely light, but you're looking at the $600-$700 range per wheel at least.

as far as wheels go - cheapish are lenso - and they are a fair bit lighter than others in teh same price range - but with lightness comes easier to dent!!

lightweight wheels:
Volk racing - 5-7K a set with rubber
enkei- around the same range
Racing Hart - a bit cheaper by 2k
but expect to pay anything between 4-7 grand!
and please buy some semi slick for that
