the "epitomy" of lightweight i don't think so, but those definitely aren't fat bastard rims and they do look pretty sweet

just to let you know i found them for 1400 at speedandstyle...
but then you upgrade to better tires thats another 100 and shipping is probably another 100. so i guess 1600 isnt badd.. i would never pay that much tho, but then i really dont care how much my wheels weigh since i dont plan on racing with this thing..

the only racing harts comparable to these in terms of weight are the cp035r which i found the cheapest for $2400 without tires. the $1600 is with tires, lugs, and locks

the only thing that bothers me about these is that they are so very similar to SSR Competition. those rims are made in japan and expensive as hell but very very nice

1600 for a 17" rim with tires like woo no thanks hehe I will get some 18" instead

Yeah mine weight 20 each so I am not too big into racing so I didn't need a light rim. But its your ride, go for it

if i was gonna race, i'd get 16's anyway. don't care much for the weight on rims that are just for looks. however these also do look pretty good. $1600 good? nah.

Another option:

I'm running Centerline RPM's. They're 18" rotary forged wheels that only weight 14.5 lbs. LOVE THEM!

RPM's weigh 14.6lbs on the 17's and they are 2 lbs. more for the 18's.
