Default light weight wheels for 01 Z?

I'm looking for performance wheels for my car. I went to the Enkei website and they have some really light weight wheels. I'm not set on this brand. I just want some light weight wheels that look good any suggestions.

Fiske makes some REALLY nice lightweight wheels for our cars. It just depends if you want to spend the money on them. Do a search of "Fiske" and you'll see what i mean.

can't go wrong with Weld if $$$$ is a concern. just be prepared to do a bit of grinding on the calipers. you can do a search on that as well as the wheels. it's been discussed more times than i care to count. but my favorites are Bogart's. SJM, sponsor>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> check them out. lot's of pics on their site and no grinding needed. also, well worth the price and some of the lightest if not the lightest.
