like the title says...for some odd reason when I get on tirerack and I put my vehicle in, it brings up 132 matches-but none of them are SSR...maybe all the orgers know a good/better place to buy cheap lightweight 16" rims...the only brands I know are volk and SSR...any others?...and if so, where do I find them...thanks guys

I'm not sure about specific wheels, but ebay is usually a good place to check

Rota's I think some type of 16in Rota's are around 14-16 pounds. Plus they are not that expensive either.

SSR went out of business.

And you're not going to "good", "light", and "cheap" all in the same wheel.

rotas are cheap and light but arent the strongest, some have boken them other have had no problems.

SSR, volks/rays are great wheels that can get pricey.

Kosie are also a great choice (k1 if the still have them are rather light)

10lbs for a 16" isn't real. Accept 13lbs-16lbs or move to a 15" size. Also depends on your use, street, drag, or race.
