steeda makes a few different rims that are pretty light, and Villians are supposed to be light, but i don't know exactly what weight. how much do you want to spend?

That's a good question. The genuine lightweights are very costly. Sortof lightweights start at about 180 dollars (those Steedas look pretty good to me: From Steeda about a week ago, "24.4 lbs. we have them in stock, you can call me at 954-960-0774 ext 127 ask for Don, I will be happy to help you with your order.

Thank you, Don")

The real light ones (under 20 pounds) are ten pounds each lighter than the "Fanblades", and cost three or four times as much.

You won't really start getting lighter until you step up to a forged 2 or 3 piece wheel which depending on size will run you between 500-1500$ per wheel.
