lightweight, 18", relatively expensive, with a lip...is this possible?

Is there a company out there that makes relatively lightweight, inexpensive, large diameter (18") wheels? I am looking for basically a knock off of the SSR type C that would be 18" x 7.5" and would weigh less than 20lbs per wheel.

My current wheels (Kosei Double Racer's) are 18x7.5, weigh 18.6 lbs, but do not have the "look" i am aiming for. I want something with a lip.

So are there any secret companies out there (other than Rota) that I should be aware of?

Thanks!

I really want this rim, but it does not come in any other size than 17x7.

I think HP Racing is coming out with the HPR5 or something like that. You might want to check it out.

Hmm. I know the 19" version of your rim weighs 31.8 lbs.

Alright thanks for the tip. Velox makes some sweet light weight wheels, but they are out of my price range. I really want the Rev Model X but the damn thing only comes in 17x7...and I do not want to really put 17's on my car.

Those rims look good on your car. I think you got them recently from my friend Mike in MA. You got a good deal man, he took good care of them. Enjoy.
