Default need lightweight rims

My tires are starting to go bald(for some unknown reason ) and i need to buy new tires so i thought that i would buy my wheels while i was at it. I need some lightweight wheels and i prefer 16's at least 10 inches wide but will settle for up to 18's and 9.5 inches wide. Need to know real soon guys so let me know what you think.

My 18" Boyd Coddington Timeless 6's weigh in at 50lbs with 255/55/18 Toyo tires. It's an 8" wheel though. Any reason for such a wide wheel?

He probably wants a 9.5" for a nitto drag radial... Most polished wheels are lightweight but I personally can't keep them up... If you want chrome look into some 3-piece forged aluminum wheels... I know there are a few companies out there that make em... and I know they're real light

I hear Centerline wheels are very light weight. However, my chrome 20" Centerline Stingrays III with the Cooper 275/45/20 came in at 70.5 pounds each. I was a little disapointed after findind this out.

That is why i want the wide wheel, for racing. I also like the looks of such a fat tire tucked under the truck. My brother has 15x10's that tuck under his truck completely and it looks awesome. I dont care if they stick out a little and i have no preference of polished or chrome. Ill keep them clean either way. Thanks for the help.
