Default New Rims...but need suggestions

Ok so i bought these rims just got em put on today. Honestly i got em because i was tired of the stockers and needed new tires anyway.
I like the rims alot but i don't like the weight of em.
I went ahead and got em cause the place i bought em said if i find some i like better they can do a trade at full price of these so long i don't mess em up like curb em or something like that.
So what i'm asking is who makes Forged Rims?
I want light weight cause these 40.5lbs each make a differance thats for sure. I know the average 20" forged rim weighs about 28lbs so thats what i want.
The only company i know of is centerline...what else is out there????

Oh and how do you think the truck looks?
I only took two cell phone pics cause it's dirty as hell right now.

I spoke with a guy from ZE Forged and he said they can make me a set 20x8.5 for the front 20x10 for the back like i want.
They weigh 27-28lbs each instead of the 40.5 the ones i just bought weigh.
They run $3000.00 a set but you pay 50% up front and it takes 3-5 weeks to make em then you pay the rest.
So i'm gonna end up buying this damn Focus for my Daily in two weeks then get a set a couple weeks after.
The price doesn't matter to me really and the 3-5 weeks between the payments just makes em that much more tempting so i think i shall have these for around 2-3 months tops.

you should get racing wheels like 17" if you want performance YOU WILL NOT hook on 20's get some good looking lightweight 17's and some M&H radials and be done with it. IMO

I want the light 20's because i spend most of my time on the street.
I'm not gonna run 17's with drag radials all the time.
I just want the lightweight 20's so it doesn't feel like i have 300lbs in the bed all the time.
I'll worry about hooking at the track with a completely differant rim/tire combo in the rear.

I'm looking at this one. As you can see i like the style of rim i have now just not the weight.

I might get em in gunmetal though.....not sure yet. I can get em with 3 differant lip sizes damn near any color or finish i want and i can get a 8.5wide for the front and a 10 wide for the back.
