RPF-1's are super light 18.6lbs so would almost any Volk in that size all around 18.4-18.7lbs I'm sure there are lighter but generally that's the norm for light weight wheels in that size.

These things are pretty light... I was carrying one and I was surprised how light they were.

Volk CE28N genesis are probably the lightest you can get. ~16.5lbs for a 18x9.5.
