Kosei K-1's. they're popular with the autoX crowd. I think the 17" is 16.5 lbs.

I have 16 inch BSA 187 Race rims on my Del Sol . They weight 35 lbs with A520 205/45/16 vs 37 lbs stock rims and tires .The price was right not to expensive and they work great . You have to make a desicion if saving a few pounds is worth paying a big premium for light weight rims . I personaly spent my money on Koni Sport and Eibach springs .

If money's an issue, look at Power Racing R6 (12lbs for 15x6.5) or Rota Circuit 8 (12lbs for 15x6.5). Both are very low priced and good wheels. I can get the Power Racing R6's for you if you're interested. Go to http://www.aktusa.com for some pics. Check out http://www.machiii.net for the Rota C8's. they give really good prices on those ($400/set) like eviladam said.

If money is not an issue, than either Desmond Rega Master Evo (8.6lbs for 15x6.5) or Starform R2 (9.7lbs for 15x6.5). Both the Desmonds and Starforms are forged (the Power Racing's and Rota's are cast). If you want the ultimate in lightness, you gotta pay the price, unfortunately. Pics of both are available at http://www.aktusa.com also. I can get both the Desmonds and Starforms. Desmonds come in silver, white, and almight grey (badass color!) and the Starforms come in white or black-with-shiny-silver-flakes.
