Default Lightest 16" wheels?

Hey guys,

I was just thinking about wheels, and was wondering who makes the lightest 16" rims.... Does anybody know? Is it Spoon?

Well, the one that U.S. has now is cast, which is labelled 57C. Its weight is around 16 lbs for 17x7.5 (no 16" info as of now), for comparison purpose, the TE37 in 17x7.5 is about 13.5 lbs. In Japan, there's another version of Gram Light and it's labelled 57F. This is the forged version and it's supposed to be lighter like TE37. However, the only size available (in Japan) is 17", nothing smaller. I saw this forged version at the IAS in Long Beach last month in Mackin's booth. I would think that Mackin is gonna bring the forged version in the U.S. as well.

They aren't....

I would like someone to throw on some 16" Volk CE28N's on the scale.... my guess is, they would be right up there.
