Anyone know where to find them? Most places just sell normal alloys which weigh a tonne and make your car drive like a snail trying to tow a bus... so hoping to find some light ones... prefrably 2nd hand becuase i bet they aint cheap new lol

any ideas? even links to new ones?

thanks!

Ultralite (http://www.ultralitewheels.com/) spring to mind, though the smallest size they do is 16".....

and, though maybe not so 'cool', theres always Superlites (http://www.superlite-wheels.com/wheelpage.asp?cat=4)
