Lightest wheels?
I'm looking for lightest stock sized 18"x9"and 19"x10"wheels to autocross with,these wheels will never see street use.Just need to mount a set of Hoosier DOT spec radials.Thanks for your help.
There are lots... from my understanding time attack/auto cross is best with 18 or even 17 inch rims. Good ones are of course volk ce, le, te, re... enkei rpf1 is light as well. There are a ton others but these are from the top of my head.

SSR Comp-H are also very lightweight wheels
You can check out some wheels from 5zigen, volk, etc. Lots of choices
If these are for autocross only, they do not need to be DOT approved. There are lots of companies that sell "competition only" wheels.

I am guessing he wants to stay in the stock class. If that is the case, there are very strict rules about width/offset and it will be hard to find those sizes without going the custom wheel route.

The enkeis are prob. your lightest as Ziv said. They do come in 10's for the rear also. They dont cost as much as Vols so you dont have to be worried about the great finish. Just search around. I think there a was a guy selling f&r for 1400?
Advans are light also
But they are ugly 
Goodluck

I don't know your price range, these are definately top echelon rims. If your worried about them getting damaged while racing, maybe something a little more inexpensive would be better. Most of these are easily around $1000/wheel. Definately one of the highest quality, lightest, nicest wheels you could purchase. I see them mostly on Porsches and Ferraris.

If you're serious about autocross, look at 17" rims. You will find a wider selection of lighter rims, in addition to larger selection and cheaper r-compound tires.
