Wheel weights are listed in wheel tech.

the company is "Centerline" they make mostly wheels for 4x4 pickups and hot rods and have entered the market making light weight forged wheels, right now i thik they only have 2 styles but more are to come very soon

I just did a search and it looks like the 'Orbital 2000' series is what we'd be interested in. McKenzie's in CA(http://www.mckenzies.com/page83.html) says they have some fitments for VW's, but I couldn't figure out what bolt patterns. I guess I should give them a call.
I do really like the 451 and 464 styles.
If they're really $200 and 13lbs for 17", then I may be forced to buy them.

When trying to look for some more details on these, I found a page listing their(Orbital series) weights at 20lbs for 16x8" and 17x8". Is that right a2lowvw? It seems like the page I found, http://www.skperformance.com, just has the wrong weight listed, but I emailed them to find out.

Thanks for the info.
I guess I got myself a little too excited. Give us some more details when they come out, or IM me. I have a Passat, so I'd need 5x112, but the same offset and sizing.
