My 19" LE37T in 9.5 and 10.5 weigh approx 20-21lbs. Pretty damn light for wide 19's, but the tires that fit these wheels properly weigh a ton if you don't choose the right ones.

Need wider tires for better traction for cornering and launch. I know its more rolling friction.

Enkei RPF1
Enkei RP03
5Zigen FN01R (the forged version is lighter than the cast C version)
Buddy Club P1 Racing II

These are probably the lightest wheels I know of that come in a good variety of sizes/offsets to fit our cars...

I'm sorry but the 5zigens (cast) are not that light. Strong and well-priced but not light.

Im just wondering, i'd like someone to weigh the rim then the Rim and tire together to get a better answer.
That's DEFINATELY tire weight...on my autocross wheels for my miata the wheel tire combo weighs 32lbs, sounds heavy....but the wheels are 10.8lbs. Tires are HEAVY. The lightest tires out there are Yoko's. T1S and ADVON are really light tires, that are good performance street tires but won't hold up to an agressive autox or track session.

**EDIT** Some of the HEAVIEST street performance tires I've seen are BFG's.
