Rota slipstreams for the price and weight cannot be beaten.
:edit: Although I see these Flik wheels are the same thing.

RE: lightest 15-inch wheels for the best price
i got mine from a local shop for just a few bucks less then edgeracing. i got new Work lug nuts and weighed everything a few times over to get a fairly accurate estimate. compared to my other craptacular wheels, i lost about 30lbs of unsprung weight all together[sm=bounceybounce.gif]
i just put them on a few mins ago...just a quick pic i got..

ya the difference is great. slightly easier acceleration and betterbraking. handles even better since the tires are a good upgrade too. i cant wait to give them a good test at the next race.

I would love to get some if it weren't for the fact that on one side they look like they go into the ground, and on the other away from it. I would hate that...shame cuz i was excited for a while.
