Go to TireRack.com, they have the weights listed for all their wheels.
Another option is the Godspeed from cruzinconcepts.com, they're quite light, even in the 20" variety.

I personally like the Enkei RPF1's, they are available in both 17" and 18" sizes for our Mustangs. I had a set of 17x9's for my '01 Bullitt that only weighed 16 lbs each that I now use for autocrossing on my '08 GT. 18" sizes weigh around 18 lbs each depending on width and offset. I also have some RPF1's for my Miata as well (those weigh 9.5 lbs each).

In that price range I would go with Enkei NT03 18x9.5 with a 40mm they weigh in at 19.2lbs each and the rack has them for $285 a piece, not bad for some light weight wheels. I also think they look great on a Mustang.

For road racing you're not going to beat the BBS wheels speced for the 302r program. Rehagen Racing sells them.

I heard they got a pretty good load rating like 1600lbs or something like that.
In that price range I would go with Enkei NT03 18x9.5 with a 40mm they weigh in at 19.2lbs each and the rack has them for $285 a piece, not bad for some light weight wheels. I also think they look great on a Mustang.

Hey Glenn, what size tires you wanting to put on there? The 18x8s are pretty small, I believe stock is 18x8.5 (right??), while the GT500 ones are 18x9.5, allowing up to a 285 on them.
American Muscle has several 18x9 replica rims, but don't publish the weights. The GT500, GT4, and FR500 ones should all be somewhat light weight.
