Lightweight 20's for the '09?

I'm starting to do research for 20's so when I'm ready to get them next spring/summer I will have my decision made (or at least narrowed down). Anyone know some lightweight wheels that are 20's and would look good (That are NOT forged, due to $$ - max budget with tires is like 2-2.5k)?

I like the gianelle spidero-5 but can't find the weight listed anywhere. Something tells me they are heavy. I also like the Enkei RAZR, and they are lightweight @ like 26lbs or something.

I've got the Precision Gray Maxima and I do NOT want to go chrome. I'm thinking either black with a machined face or charcoal. Maybe all black, but it really would have to be a sick wheel to do that.

Also, at this point I'm pretty set on 20's, so advocates of 22's please hold your breath. I know they fill the wheel-wells, but I dont like being all jacked up and the weight of any 22 that isnt forged is way too much for me.

Thanks!

I think those OZ ultraleggera look pretty spiffy. I love the multispokes wheels.

Ya I like how the black ones look (they dont have the gunmetal ones on Tire Rack) but they are $500 a piece without tires. Unless I could find them dirt cheap somewhere they would be too expensive. Nice and light tho.

Light weight unforged 20"s are not gonna happen and certainly not for cheap.

Give these guys a call, they practically have everything and can tell you over the phone the weights of the 20" forged and non-forged. Also $2-$2.5k might get you some forged wheels.

Hmmm. Interesting. I would LOVE some forged wheels. The prices are decent but that's without tires (not sure what the ebay listing is, ebay is blocked at work)... I'll have to see what kind of packages they offer. Otherwise I may have to save my pennies for an additional year - Or find unforged lightweight 20s. My problem is that all of my top choices seem to be forged. I guess I have expensive taste...

Forged rims and tire 2k or 2.5k i dont think u will find dat .. and Ebay is not the best place to purchase wheels i did purchase some 20's from there and had major balancing issues... i have forged wheels and me 2 had a budget and ended up paying 6.5k for wheels and tires, could not find anything decent under 3k so good luck.

$2500 is a little less then what I would be bringing to the table for 20's and tires. Is it possible to wait a bit and get that budget a bit higher? (ie $4k) Otherwise you might have to settle for used wheels or heavy **** wheels. Tires can be pretty cheap depending on what you are looking for.

Ya, I guess. I'm just impatient. The more I look, and the more I see that I am going to HAVE to have forged wheels, the more I realize maybe they are closer to 2 years out. It's funny that the only wheels that I'm like "shucks those are sweet" are the most expensive ones...

Lol, if only wal-mart rims were half decent looking hey But I know what you mean, I get really impatient with my purchases and usually end up blowing my budget out of the water.

Ya I hear that. My problem will be SAVING the money rather than spending it as it accumulates on an intake, exhaust, and who knows what else.
