I personally decided on the Apexi Mag Lites. They are 11 pounds each, four spoke 15". I too decided on 15's for performance reasons.

I decided to do a test, weighed my stock rims with rubber, and the new rims with new rubber, and the Apexi's were about 6 pounds lighter per wheel!

Unsprung weight is a killer...
