lightweight wheels

I'm trying to find a set of light weight 15"-16" wheels. I think I've seen most of the more popular ones like the slips, holes, heliums, etc.

What I'd like would be somthing with a 2-3" polished lip.

the finish can be silver, platinum, or black. Maybe something w/ 6-16 spokes or a BBS style mesh.

Throw some suggestions at me if you know of anything.

you won't find anything with that big of a dish in that small of a rim with an offset that fits the car.
2 that come to mind that may fit the bill, but probably not that huge of a lip are the Volk TE37 Cup and the Work Neizart. Get your check book ready.

Thans for the suggestions. I'm definately not trying to buy a set of Volks, not new anyways.

The Rota D2's (http://www.rotawheels.com/products.php?id=66) have a deep lip on them but they start in 17" and I'm not crazy about the 5 spoke look.

I could do without the deep lip though. I would like to stick with a polished lip but if anyone knows of any 10-16 spoke wheels or BBS mesh type that would be helpfull too.

Any one have a set of the Konig/Maxxam "Remember"?

They are like old school BBS mesh w/ a polished lip. Just wondering how they look on civics.

Konig Britelites are 15" 10 spoke and weigh a little over 12lbs.
They aren't forged though so I don't know what material they use.
