Lightest rims for Road Racing

What's the lights rim preferably 18" available to the public market for road racing? I hear mixed things between BBS, SSR, and Volk. Ideas and Opinions welcomed.

Volk TE's, LE's, and Gram Lights 57f's (F because they're full 1pc forged; i know the 17" is 14lbs because my buddy has them) would be your best bet. or get a set made by JLine (mega pricey though).

If money were of no object, BBS LM rims would be 1st on my list. SSR Comps are supposedly lighter than Volks TE37 rims, I'm just not feeling the look of the SSR Comps. The TE37 Mags look pretty nice, matches the color of my car too . They could be lighter than the SSR Comps. Another are the Work Emotion CR Kai. they have the looks but I dont know much of it's construction and performance accountability. JLine "look" heavy. They do look nice though. I just dont know much about JLine, although they're made to order. I've never heard of them being used in any kind of competition. Too many compromises...I want a little bit of everything - lightness, aesthetics, rigid construction.
