BBS reps and other mesh style wheels

I am thinking about getting a new set of wheels for my mini and like a few of the BBS mesh wheels...However I don't wanna spend that much cash on my daily driver... Anyone have some brands of other mesh style wheels under 1k? I am open to both
16" and 17" wheels

Thanks
LP

they are 16.5 lb each, just about 40 lb with mounted tires.

I'll 2nd tire-rack. There's several on there, but I know ASA makes at least 1 style of mesh wheel in the MINI bolt-pattern and offset. They're not super light (you usually pay more for that), but IIRC they're right around 20lbs, and less than $200/ea for 17". 16" will likely be cheaper and lighter.
