what's your budget look like for these wheels? that'll give us a good range of brands & styles to start with...
are you looking at a particular size or size range for the wheels? 15x7, 16x6.5, 17x8?
Rota makes some nice and fairly light replica wheels, some of which now actually have the right hub bore, offset and lug pattern for our cars. they're also reasonably priced.
Velox has some light and some VERY light wheels, ranging from inexpensive to Volk-esque pricing depending on build method.
ATS has some great wheels with decent weight, and price is usually decent depending on size.
Volk, SSR, Team Dynamics, Konig, Enkei, and Kosei all offer lightweight wheels that generally look pretty cool. prices range from downright cheap to "you want me to cut off what body part??"




Have you seen the turbo wagon?

Motegi's are your best bet (and about the only option) for 15" or larger.

Weld offers 13" Racelite wheels that weigh about six pounds.

There aren't many 5 X 100 wheels offered that are "light".

However the trickest wheel is probably a Bogart and they'll make them any way you'd like. Karo was running them if I recall correctly. They can be spendy though.
