id say moke rims, but i could be wrong, there are some racing wheels which cost a fortune too that weigh stuff all. but with lightness comes weakness most of the time |

i know they cant be the superlights as they aint superlight at all lighter - less wear on suspension items and better handling |

Moke Sunraysias aren't very light. The centre plate is quite thick. They're no good for hard charging due to the flex they get. Unsprung mass is the enemy of good handling on rough surfaces but most of the unsprung mass is in the iron hubs, arms brakes, drive flanges, CVs and knuckles. If every gram counts, go 10s. |

There are rims out there made by group called compomotive. Nice looking rims. 
can be done for mini. 13x5" or 13x5.5" 
range from 13x5.5" up to 13x11.5". bit expensive. for 13x7" its $651 per rim. but you pay to be different. they are a lightweight, bloody strong rim. 
can be done for mini, not sure of price, but 13x7 possible. forgot to mention you can get all of these from Stuckey Tyres, in Brunswick. |
