VOLKS! My 16" CE28Ns are under 12 pounds apiece, 17" are under 13 pounds. I noticed a big improvement in braking and a slight improvement in acceleration after getting them.

there are lots of light rims out there, just becareful on which set you pick up, lighter rims usually bend easier if they're not forged. becareful with ssr's. the competitions are really easy to bend but the gt3's are pretty sturdy.

if you want weights for rims, check this site out. this is for everyone, i guess you could make a new post for this site for others to see as well

http://www.wheelspecs.com

they have pretty much every major brand rim with all different sizes and widths, etc..
