If you want them CHEAP and light weight: Rota, Kosei, and Konig

moderate prices: SSR competition, OZ, Gram lights.

Major $: BBS> all

Nothing wrong with Kosei I've seen plenty of road racers and autocrossers use them without any issues.

There are also some CHEAP knock off Rota slipstreams on sale now, the are like 69$ a piece. $499 w/ good tires. I can't think of the actual brand but a friend of mine who races is using them and beating the hell outta them at the track and they have been holding up well.

You never mentioned how much you want to spend. If you're insanely rich, get some TE-37's. They weigh less than the stocks, even in 16".

I have Rotas right now and they are pretty much disposable rims at around $100 ea.

I've seen several sets (with tires) sell for less than $1000 before, used of course, but in mint condition. I bought 2 16's (with tires) off of a guy once for $350 and they were in great shape.
