Default Cheap light weight rims

I'm looking for some light weight rims that are below $600, I'm liking some of the rota wheels but i was wondering if there were some better wheels for around the same price

To get a truelly light and nice wheel you will have to spend more than 600 dollars since the two words nice and light usually arent cheap together. VX and hx wheels are very light, very cheap but tire choices are limited! Good Luck!

VX wheels are 9.70lb 13"
HX wheels are 11.75lb 14"

http://www.superhonda.com/tech/wheel_weights.html is a good start for your wheel search. It has OEM and aftermarket sizes, weights, construction

for 15's in 15x7, the rota slipstreams and falken hanabi's are about 12 Ibs. i think the 14 inch miata rims are about 12 Ibs also. there is a website called wheelweights.net or something like that that lists wheels, their size and the weight

The one positive about the HX rims, not that they look great in almost any color but tire cost is very minimal.
