Without spending silly money leggeras think I speeld it correctly are about as light as a wheel gets, tyes, 048's for road use are light, ACB10's are light but not really suitable for the road, toyo's 888 are not to lardy either.

All imho

pro race 1.2's by team dynamics are light at around 6.2 kgs per wheel. if you are after some then call mnr as they are a team dynamics registered supplier and are as cheap as anywhere!
edit; for a 15" that is

MAC1 have got some 13" Pro race 1.2 at the moment. Very light!

They even have some light weight wheel nuts if you want to go that far!

superleggeras from OZ are one of the lightest alloys you can get without going mag - can't buy anymore and the ultraleggeras are a bit heavier...
