BTW, my definition of lightweight 18's means less than 19 lbs. If you are willing to go 7.5" width then you'll have a plethora of light wheels to choose from that are reasonably priced.
Anyway, from my research, apart from the very expensive ones $400+ per wheel (SSR comps, Racing Harts, Volks, etc.) here are the only other lightweight (<19 lbs) 18 x 8 ones I found below $400 per wheel.
1) Enkei RPM2 $250+ per wheel 18.5 lbs
2) O.Z. superleggeras (what I have)$330+ per wheel 18.3 lbs
3) SSR GT1 $399+ per wheel 19 lbs

But, i'm really not going for speed, more of looks and better handling, so that is my trade-off.

) rims put on with Kuhmo 711 225/45r 17 put on today from Discount Tires for about $1150 for everything.. and damn, these rims look nice and they are light. they are about 15lbs each. Very nice ride and everything, all he needs now is to lower his car and everything is set. If you want some light rims and that wont cost you a fortune, goto a Discount Tires store and they will most likely drop it down to about the same price my friend got his at. The rims are usually $200 each.

Here is the kicker.
Would a 18" wheel that weighs 25lbs with a 25lb tire outside diameter of 25.9".......
and a 17" wheel that weighs 25lbs with a 25lb tire with a outside diameter of 25.9" be any harder to rotate?
Food for thought!
