I am looking for the same thing.
Have you looked at Motegi MR131 tracklights?

What width are you looking for? I have found very very few options wider than a 17x8

Ah, sorry for the really slow reply. I had seen the Motegis, but didn't pursue them because they're gravity cast. At 16.5 lb., though, they are certainly lightweight.

I ended up just waiting for the Konig Rennforms to come back in stock. So far, I really like them. The car feels more sprightly and the steering feels much more responsive.

I wasn't looking for a specific width, but they were 17x8.

All great choices. I strongly considered getting the RPF1s, but they were $93 per wheel more than the Rennforms. Dropping another 1.5 lb. of unsprung weight on each corner was definitely tempting, though.

I was pretty much set on the Konig Rennforms (https://www.discounttiredirect.com/b...nnform/p/47900) but they seem to be out of stock everywhere until July/August. The price is right in line with what I wanted to pay (~$150-$180), they only weigh 16.95 lb., and they're flow formed. I'm willing to wait, but was wondering if there are any alternatives I'm missing. Myfirstpremiercard
