Is this too racey for you? I know it kind of is, but I think it's fairly close to the style of the OEM 19's

Enkei Racing GTC01, available in a simple easy to fit 19x9+18 and 19x10+22

or stock style but wider?

Tenzo-R DC-5 19x8.5+20 and 19x10+25

Trust me for a set of wheels to be 19x9 or larger and around the 25-lb mark is considered light weight, unless you splurge and spend a lot more money for lighter wheels (which will still look racey IMO).

Look into these brands:
Work
Volk (specially the new G-generations)
Advan
AME

They'll be light and more affordable than HRE, BBS and the like.

Work wheels, although not heavy, are on the heavier end of the spectrum. Work wheels are spun cast.

OP - Look into any of Volk's forged monoblock wheels. te37, le37, ce28n, le28n, re30, etc.

many Enkei are pretty light... however, I dont prefer nmost of their designs... but since OP is looking for OEM-like looks, maybe Enkei would be a good choice.
