Lighter but also a little more expensive is the Enkei RPF1, which weighs only 15.9# in 17x8.
See both wheels at: http://www.enkei.com/High%20Performance.html
Enkeis are available from a lot of dealers, and probably some of the vendors on this site.

jbrennen question on your RPF1's that you use at the track. Are those the stock size tires, becuase in that pick they look like a larger side wall. Although they are not my favorite looks wise, they are my favorite for the price/weight. Under $250 a wheel including shipping is hard to beat at 15.5 lbs a wheel. So I will need to throw in an extra $80+$70 for caps and lug nuts. I am still debating but these might be the ones........

They are also Hoosiers with a very stiff sidewall, inflated to about 45 PSI, with essentially no visible tread. So the picture is perhaps a bit deceiving.
