Default What is the lightest wheel?

What's the lightest wheel on the market right now? the only one I could find are the ones from VOLK Racing they are called the TE37's. they are 10.5Lbs. are there any lighter ones? I'm trying to find a real light set of wheels for My '98 (That has no engine). My 95 has a set of those and they are pretty nice, but i'd like to go lighter.

13x5 VX = ~9.5lbs.

A few 13x7 racing wheels are around 6-7.

Weld makes a 13x8 that weighs 6.

i honestly think cpf evo's are lighter than te's. i've had them both and many other rims. and cpf evo's hands down gets my vote for lightest. but not sure if they are the lightest street wheel EVER MADE or not. they there are certainly lighter than the te's though. also with that said i dunno about the durability of these other so called light weight rims like the welds,etc. these cp's will stand the test of time !
