web sites with wheel weights

anyone know of some good web sites that list many wheel weights? (the only one I have found is www.wheelspecs.com - and it doesn't have that many wheels that I would even think about putting on my fd) I am looking for 17" wheels that are about the same weight as stock- the lighter the better - that don't cost an arm & a leg. right now all I can seem to find is SSR & Volks that are nice looking and light, but I would prefer to not spend that sort of cash. any alternatives out there?

That's it pretty much. It's too hard to find many one piece rims lighter than the Type-C and the Volks. With regards to the Volks you'll have to get the CE38N, TE37, or SE37K to get even close to your stock wheel weight.

What do you do with the car? Street/track, track only, track but rarely. . . All this will help.

What other mods do you have done to the car?

One other wheel only, the Racing Hart CP-035R. That's a light frikin' wheel.

my car is mostly drivin on the street, but I do get to the track once in a while. both strip, auto-x, and road course.

my mods so far:
PFS intake
PFS SMIC
PFS dp
racing beat cat back
efini y-pipe
alum ast
Apexi PFC on order

right now I am leaning towards the SSR Competitons, but they are sorta common. not that this is a huge deal, but it would be nice if there was a variety of choices.

this is mainly for hondas, but does list some sizes the 7 would use. It's a good reference guide in between brands.

For the most part, an 18x10 inch wheel that is less than 20 pounds is pretty darn good. But i like to think pound per inch.
