Unfortunately what you are trying to do is difficult. There are LOTS of cool wheels you can buy on a budget ,
but almost none that are truly lightweight and affordable at the same time ! When you do find lightweight rims , you have to also ask yourself about their strength. MANY really light rims bend
very easily with just one really nasty pot-hole. I know , as I've had it happen to me with certain rims.
I'm in exactly the same quandry as you are .... I currently have extremely light weight rims on my car ( 15.6 lbs ) , and they are pretty much indestructable ... I mean strong as hell. I've ran two different sets of these same rims for three + years now , and have never bent one or seen one get even slightly out of round , but I'm ready now for a completely new look , and I just can't find that new look I'm wanting , that is also as light and strong as what I have now.
I had a friend who let me swap his 18 lb rims on my car for a weekend , and
DAMN what a HUGE difference !!!!! My car was considerably slower with accelleration , didn't corner nearly as responsively , and didn't brake as well. It just felt like I had a heavier , slower , and less responsive car

I'm about to the point where I'm just going to probably paint my current wheels for that different look i want, and that way I won't lose performance.
Damn Centerline for only offering my wheels in the one fucking finish ! They are perfect in every way if you like high polish , but yeah ... I'm definitely at my wits end with searching for something else
