In search of good track wheels

So full disclosure...I bought a set of used TD ProRace 1's on CL. Bad idea, knew they were a bit beat up, but bought 'em cheap. Then had them repaired. Now the whole set is not so cheap anymore. The more I thought about it, the more I decided I did not want to put those wheels on the car (with tires mounted on them of course) and use them on the track. So I am out $500.

I would like for the wheels to be very strong, as light as possible and if the looked good on the car, that is a bonus. I know that Mini's are really hard on the front wheel/tire with a lot of force/heat, so something that has a reputation for not cracking is really important.

So now the question is what is a good track wheel. I have some ideas and thought I would get folks to chime in. Looking at $225 per wheel max.

TD Pro Race 1.2 ($204 at Outmotoring.com)
Kosei K5R ($169 at TR)
Kosei K1 TS ($165 at TR)
Kosei K8R (least expensive at $139 on TR)
Enkei RPF1 ($220 at TR)
OZ Italia 150 ($229 at TR)

As always, thanks for the input!
