There are a ton of options out there 
Whats your budget like? We all could throw wheels at you all day long with some insane prices tag but that doesnt really help if you dont feel like spending that much 
You have a few options regarding the "build" of a wheel.
Cast Wheels
These are typical on the lowest end of the spectrum for price because they are typically heavier than a forged wheel. There are a few types of cast wheels (low-pressure cast, gravity cast, etc). Basically hot metal is poured into a cast to form your wheel.
Forged Wheels
Forged wheels bring a much higher price tag but are far stronger and much lighter. They start as a solid hunk of aluminum and then are heat treated, CNC milled, polished and assembled (if its a multi-piece wheel) to give the final product. Some Forged wheel lines are ADV1, HRE, Forgeline, CORm DPE, and many more.
If your interested in seeing the process of an HRE Forged wheel being built check this out:
guy for norcal posted a TSW Interlago which is actually a forged wheel (rotary forged) and is well priced in comparison to other forged wheels. I got to run but I will post some more information and pictures when I get back.
