While wheel shopping it would be a good idea to check which tires are available that you want to run. It has been my experience that it's easier to find wheels than tires that will fit them in our size.
Diamond Racing makes steel racing wheels that would be perfect at a very reasonable cost. I will be picking up a set of these for dedicated R-comps next year if everything goes as planned.

It won't fit inside your fender due to the offset.
Rotas also tend to do this a lot:
I would never put a Rota on a car I was going to race in any way, or even drive hard.

14x7 Challenger series is only 16lbs. There are lighter wheels, but at like $82 each most lighter alloy wheels are crap.
