On my S2000, I have 18X9.0 SSR Comps in the rear, each wheel weighing 17lb. During the summer I would change wheels every other weekend, and the SSR Comp with a 255/35 AVS ES 100 combo weighed closer to 40 pounds than 20.

Version, definitely look into some lighter wheels. See if you can pick up some SSR Comps used. Those are light wheels.

That is for the wheel alone. What tires are you running?
BTW...a truely lightweight wheel weighs under a lb an inch.

Here are the specs on my LE28Ns:
17X7.5 +50: 14.5 lbs / 17X9 +63: 16 lbs
You won't find a setup much lighter than those.
