Racing Hart (CP8R) and Velox (PG5S) both make wheels that weigh in at 12.5 lbs each. That's gonna be tough to beat.

My Motegi MR12s are only about 16 pounds, and I think the 17" MR12s are 20 pounds (not great, but lighter than the MR7s), and check out the Enkie RF-1, although I think those only come in Silver. I dunno if you like any of those choices, but it's a start.

you know that enkies suck they may be light but you can not find a decent one. ive seen in my shop for problems all the time on lancers. I have silver 17" MR7 and i love them, put some toyo tires on there and you will be set.

I have a set of MINT SSR Comps (17") wrapped in some Toyo Proxe T1-s for sale. They used to be on my WRX for 3 weeks, until i traded it for the EVO. The offset wont fit the EVO, but if anyones interested, PM me. The SSR's weigh in at 12.5lbs and the T1-S' are 20.9lbs.

oz's superleggras kind of look like those... the 15's are 5kg and the 17's are 7kg which is about 15.4lbs for the 17s.... the hardest thing about the light weight wheels is they tend to be the 4x100 pattern and not our odd pattern.
