Default Light weight 14" wheels suggestions

Anyone have any suggestion for a light weight 14" wheel? Other than TE-37 and HX wheels.

Thanks.

-- btw, the above weight for a SSR Comp in 15" is too low. they're closer to 10lbs.

I've seen 15 x7 SSR Comps listed at 9.2-9.3 lbs. everywhere on the net. All those places could be wrong however...

SSR (15x7.0J 4/100 +42) (weight 9.2 lbs) listed at their site.
Here is pic w/Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Tires (195/50/15).

Sterns are only 5-bolt at that price
www.machiii.net
ask for walee

SSRs are light but its also a tire weight that matters...my Rotas with FZ4s (195/50R15), weighted at 28lbs, which is 4lbs lighter then Spoons or Evos with Azenis tires
Azenis, BS S03, RE730 all weight around 20-23.5lbs mark for 195/50R15 tires
while Pirelli P700z or P7000 or Toyo T1S or Fz4 are in 16-17.5lbs range....
so when making descions of lightweight wheels make sure you check the weight of the tire as well

does anyone care about cornering any more? why does everyone want small narrow wheels?

Exactly, the only thing I have against the HX wheels is that they're only 5.5" wide. I would like to run 195 tire, but rather do it on 6" wide rim.

Anyway, by the looks of it, I going to try to get a set of HX wheels as the alternatives ppl have listed are $$$.

Thanks.
