Lightweight Rims

I'm replacing my stock SE rims, (45lbs?) and I want to get the lightest possible. My new ones must be 17" and I'm looking for less then 30lbs if possible.

I wanted these Motegi rims but they weigh too much, I think they're 40lbs


Does anyone know any brands or anything? I want a silver color finish, not polished. Anything will help, Thanks

About 95% of 17" rims weigh than 30lbs. The ones you're looking at DON'T weigh that much. You want rims that weigh less than your 16" SE wheels which are 19.5lbs. http://www.wheelweights.net/

go on ebay and look up rota, they get as low as 10 lbs at 16's size i think 17's might be like 14 lbs, that is what im getting and they are only like 500 $. hope that helps, and they have some really good looking ones also. my friend had some 17's and i can pick thoes up with my one finger seriousely.
