enkei makes some fairly cheap light wheels...rpf1, rp03. 5Zigen FN-01R-C and SSR comp-h's are cheapish and light at under 20lbs... I mean you aren't going to get all that much lighter than around 18lbs. Obviously if you get 17's theyll be lighter than a comparable 18. but anything around 18-19lbs is pretty good. I mean if you want to go the cheap route theres plenty of people selling track wheels with tires for around $1000 and they're sub 20lb rims. If you have the touring 18's youll save 5-6lbs a rim in rotational mass.

well i cant really comment on the weights of each, since i dont know them off the top of my head but obviously BBS is very well known for making lightweight track worthy wheels. i know OZ also is very respectable. Kosei and wedsport im not that familiar with but as far as i know they are pretty good as well.

all of them are lightweight. the bbs is actually the heaviest of the bunch at about 20/21 lbs, but they're also forged and the others aren't.
just looking for opinions on which ones you guys think look good at this point.

Check out www.wheelweights.net for a listing of weights for wheels with exact sizes. It doesn't include all brands/models/sizes, but can be helpful.

good link, but hard to sort through.
i get my car back "by the end of the week. latest monday."
they're going to give me money for the wheel, but they are going to put a new tire on it. they said the damage is only cosmetic.
i may still buy new wheels and sell the milanos.
