I would consider anything under 20 pounds as "light" for an 18" wheel. The SSR Comp I believe weighs in at about 14 pounds, not aware of an 18" any reasonably priced 18" lighter. Be sure to take into account the tire weight too, as that's even more important in terms of rotational inertia. :smile:

Cheers,
Ryan

Light 18" rims tend to run more than $300 per rim.
Centerline has the dominator series in 18x7" 4x100 bolt pattern +42 offset
about 16 lbs per rim roughly.

Centerline has specials you can search for but I did find-
428 8708 439 (polished) Excel rims
18x7 42mm offset
Sport Compact Car w/ 4-100mm bolt circle including Honda (4-lug) and Mini Cooper. (whl has polished finish - photo shown is black pearl). internal note: 2 new build - included in price.
4-100mm $ 239 about 17 pounds

And
440 8708 435 hi-polish, mirror finish Centerline RPM
18x7 42mm offset
Sport Compact Car w/ 4-100mm bolt circle including Honda Civic (4-lug), Mini Cooper, Scion (4-lug), Toyota Corolla (4-lug). THIS WHEEL IS DUAL DRILLED.
4-100mm $ 229
