best Wheel selection for autoX/road courses

im just wanting to know what is the lightest aftermarket rims that are also very strong
I will most likely get 17x11's on all four corners.

The best place that I know of to check things out is tirerack.com. My Dad bought a mis-matched set of 17x11's for his Vette this summer. He called them and told them that he didn't care what they looked like and they sold him to him for a song. I'd do some research with them, then call them.

the best wheels are very expensive. companies like bogart, custom wheel, monocoque, simmons, and the like make 3 piece wheels that are very light, very strong and very $$$$
any off the shelf or stock wheel will be plenty strong, but also very heavy. my old 4th gen ss wheels with 275/40 kuhmo's weighed in at 47lbs each. that is a lot considering my friends eclipse with custom wheels that are 17x10 and run the same size tire are stronger and weigh only 34lbs each.
