Default Besides Rota, who else makes a decent light 15" wheel?

I know Rota makes a bunch of light weight wheels but any other brand you would recommend? They should also be under $150 per wheel.

Here's a few I know of.
Koesi K1
Konig Helium

Please feel free to add to the list

Cool good site!

Has any body tried Flik wheels? They seem to have a good line up of wheels, decent prices too.

Stern/Aguzze S-O7s. Cost me about the same as the Rota Slips....but are original and they don't make them anymore in 4X100. I've only seen the 5 lugs avaliable at Mach III.

Gold one is dope!

it's not that some people don't know other companies, it's that(speaking for myself)I can buy this rim and tire combo for far less than some other rim and still have money to buy other things. I don't personally go for looks, but i wanted a lighter wheel so i got the rota c8's, which left me with money over to buy a vafc and the guages that i needed. But i do understand where your coming from too.

Enkei Tarmac is about $180 per wheel and only 10.xx pounds
Enkei RPO1 or something is pretty light too.

And sometimes Panasports can be found used for cheap.

Buddyclub has a cast version of their wheel, they are fairly light and storng for the price.

Looks like there are Cast versions of some Rays or Volk wheels too... like the Racign Hart CP-035C

***
5zigen and Enkei both make lower priced wheels and they are good suggestions. As for Volk they are excellent wheels but out of my price range. I would love to sport forged wheels but for now I won't notice any difference.

What about theses?

Jaxx Lightweights

I believe they're 12lbs each in a 15". They come in white and silver and you can get them at http://www.discounttiredirect.com for $139.

or these:

ATS Comp lites. They come in two different colors, are $150, and are 12 lbs, too I think.

Sorry but your reason is not good enough for me, I bought a set of 4 Enkei's for $440 SHIPPED and NO TAX. Do the math, $110.00 per wheel.
