Default Where to find the best autocross lightweight rims?

I used to track a mazda rx8. And on it I had 18" enkei rpf1's. They were light, looked great, and held up.
Want a lightweight, great looking rim for the xfire. Most of what I'm finding is bling heavy rims or quarter mile track rim setups. Any suggestions on where to look, and I don't want to run spacers. Getting ready for next year and hitting willowsprings again!!

You have a couple of options...
  1. Forgestar (custom offsets, takes anywhere from 2-3 months to build)
  2. TSW Rotary-Forged wheels
Personally I'm eying the TSW lineup. Excellent quality, low price, and low weight. The Interlagos is on my short list.

Check 'em out:

I have Forgestars on my car and like them. The fronts are 18x9 and the wheel tire combo weighs the same as the stock rim and tire. On the rear I'm using 18x10 with a 275 and it weighs a few pounds less than stock. To find rims under 20lbs is expensive. The Forgestar's aren't cheap but for the price I think they're a good deal.
