Imput Needed!!! Lightweight 20in Wheels

Im am looking for some lightweight 20in wheels that are pretty sturdy and can take LA roads and still light weight! I wanted to get the mrr gt5s but i saw that they are about 60lbs each wheel! Any suggestions?

Im looking for something with about +12 offset with 8. 5 to 9. 5 width in front and 9. 5 to 10. 5 width for the rears!

Maybe with a step lip but not really a priority!

Your suggestion/input is much appreciated! :-)

What's lightweight for you?

To get something around 25 lbs or so, you will almost certainly have to go with forged wheels. BBS, HRE, Iforged, or even Dymag.

I read somewhere that the TSW Nurburgring wheel in 20x10.5 weighs 25lbs and it's cheap and good looking.

Yeah, no lip. lipped wheels are usually heavier as it is.

It may not fit to you, but it doesn't mean it's not possible. As I said, TSW Nurburgrings are cheap, lightweight and 20.
