In general you have to spend a lot of money to get a wheel lighter than factory with most cars. OE rims tend to be well made and pretty light, as a rule. With larger rims (18" or more) you can usually count on anything except known higher end racing rims to be heavier than stock.

oem snowflakes are 22lbs not light by my standard, you can get lighter rims for about $200/wheel (like rotas) which i don't consider a lot of money.

I picked up 17 x 7 bsa's. I haven't weighed them yet but I've found posts on the net that claim they are 17 lbs. They cost about 125 / wheel.
