Here's whats on the top of my head at the moment:
Kosei K1
Buddy Club P1 SF
Konig Traffik
Advan RG
Volk TE37
OZ Superleggera (they're a little odd looking in small sizes)
5Zigen Fighter
Black Racing Pro N1
Thats what I can think of now.
Oh, the orange ones are Speedmasters.... they're not available in orange anymore, but Black and GM/Polish are available
konig heliums come in that size and color (available most anywhere)
flik apex 2 ( www.edgeracing.com)
along with the others listed above
you may want to try here as well, as you can sort by size, color, etc www.whalentire.com

Autocross: Because Life is more fun on three wheels......
"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "

I know you wanted 6 spoke ones, but you might find something else for cheaper. I got Rota Slipstreams 15x6.5 (11.8lbs each) for $100 each shipped. But they are 5 spokes.

Oh whoopdy doo. They weigh 11.2 lbs as opposed to 10.4. WHO CARES! I wouldn't call that a "problem". A problem is they fracture, then bent, they don't fit, etc...
Someone just misquoted the weight and everyone took it for granted... then someone checked.

well, now Im thinking of another question... I know there are lots of good tires out there, but is there a lightweight tire that we could use to help things as well???
Most tires weigh about the same, give or take 2 lbs. The only tire I'm aware of that was intended to be lightweight are Kumho Victoracer V700s. But they're R compounds (race tires). Really with the tire, I'd concern yourself more with whatever your priority is, stickiness or milage durablity.
Then look for those, don't worry about what it weighs. Don't worry about speed rating either, the car won't go over 130, you don't need a Y or Z rated tire. Falken Azenis are just about the stickest tire you can buy, they're W or V rated, and 23.8 lbs (kinda heafty)... yet everyone buys them for their grip.
Speed rating has ZERO to do with the car. You can put any speed rating you want. All the speed rating says is the tire is capable of handling the heat and stress of speed up to a given MPH. No performance tire will come with a rating less than W (130 MPH) anyways. Its just a test of tire compound... it has nothing to do really with the tire's grip or its performance.
It won't. Check out the load index, thats improtant too....
Falken Azenis in 205/50-15 have a load index of 85 and a speed rating of V = they are rated to be able to carry 1135 lbs Each and are safe to run up to 149 mph.
there is a pic of them at the bottom...
