well.. I know that Sport Compact Car lists any wheel whose weight is less than it's diameter as being lightweight.. so a 12 pound wheel with a 16 inch diameter is pretty light...

most light weight wheels are going to be either right at the same weight as the diameter or just under, the wheels i'm looking at are cheap (under 150 each) and at 14.6 lbs for a 16x7 pretty damn light too.

I'll have to get back to you tomorrow on that one John, its on my favorites on my comp at work. They are rota subzeros, the rota slipstreams also weigh the same. but you can search for it too, its a yahoo store, but sorry don't remeber the name off the top of my head.
