I have pretty much come to the conclusion that there are really no good options out there. Even in an 18" size there are very few rims that actually look good and are relatively light. Seems like there is a huge void when it comes to good looking (non-boat anchor) wheels for GM truck aplications. I wish a company would step up and fill that void other than centerline whose wheel designs aren't all that great, nor is there service.... Only other option is to go intro/budnik/Iforged, etc..... but count on spending big money for anthing in that size range.
...When centerline qoutes there 20" wheel weighing 25 lbs that is for the 8" wide rim not the 8.5 and I believe the rapid or the stingray III are the only ones that are that light. Or that is what I was told by centerline, I had them pull some wheels off the shelf and weigh them.....You are probably looking at somewhere closer to 61-63 lbs per wheel at the lightest in a 20", still not too bad considering.
I'm talking to a company right now about making a billet wheel in an 18" and 20" for GM truck app's. The 18"s should weigh right about 23-24lbs and the 20"s about 27 lbs. Will be making a thread soon to see what kind of interest is out there for a lightweight, good looking, 18"-20" wheel
A 17",18" or 20" lightweight would be great. Hopefully it'll be made here & somewhat reasonable.
Post up what y'all find.

Ran across some gram lights the other day. I know they are know for there light weight wheels, but can't find a weight on them anywhere. Have seen them in sizes from 15-18". They are the 57sx and 57sx pro.
And just recently ran across some lenso wheels (look like some volks almost) and apparently most of their rims are light too, but I can't find a weight on them. They make them in 15-20" range and various colors depending on styles. The models are the rt6, rt7, and rt8.
