Enkei...

Enkei has the name, and the RS-5 is a cool, popular style. They are pretty light (atleast compared to some rims), but you must keep in mind that they will expose everything in your wheelwell (just a hint because I have thin 5-spoke type wheels and my wheelwells are dirty as sh*t and everyone can see it).

Maine, I think you should have gotten some bigger rims. No offense. I have the 16 X 7" RS5's on my Civic and they are pretty light in comparison to my old rims (Konig Octanes),and they are lighter than the stock 14" wheels that came on my car new. But he is right about the fact that everyone will see your insides. I will be painting my calipers and sanding some blemishes this weekend

Here are the sizes and weights.

15 x 6.5 15.4 lbs
16 x 7 17.6 lbs
17 x 7 19.8 lbs
18 x 7 21.56 lbs

I don't know what the weight is on them. I got them from WWW.tires.com . If you call them they might be able to give you the actual weight. Yes my wheel size is 15".

GuidoSST just got a set of the Enkei RS7s in the 16" size for his 95 GLE. They look nice and are pretty light. The tire wheel combo is within 3lbs of my 16" Kosei K1 setup. My 16" K1s look slightly bigger, most likely due to my drop (he isn't lowered).
