Hmm don't know where you heard about lightest...their "lightweight" wheel is not much lighter than stock AP2 wheels...think its the XXR 518. http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_518.shtml

17 x 7 +48 and 17 x 8.5 +48...18.5 and 20 lbs...don't know about the quality but the adage is you get what you pay for...and these are $150 each...

That being said, if you get some post pics!

They only list the weight for the "featherweight" 518 and it's still heavier than most quality aftermarket wheels. XXR is a low end wheel and doesn't have many wheels that are available in S2000 friendly sizes.
