Default Good resource for finding out wheel weights?

Hi folks, just wondered if anyone knows of a reliable site for checking alloy wheel weights? I'd like to see what there is that might benefit my track car compared to stock STI widetrack wheels. Strength and lightness being key.

I'm thinking that things along the lines of the TD Pro Race 1.2 and the OZ stuff are probably going to be up there but a nice list would be great

You can't beat jdm wheels for lightness, they don't come cheap though

No, that's true. You mean the OE JDM or just JDM brands in general? I know there are nice light OZ's, Enkeis etc. but not sure which are which and what's widely available etc.

I'd love to shave some weight from that big heavy Blob without putting us into your class at Harewood so options are limited!

Depends what wheels I run. I'll be buying new ones next season to replace the NS2-Rs as they're slightly wrong size and I've heard good things about the AR1 and the Extreme VS2.
