Default Lightweight wheels?

I have been looking for a set of lightweight 16" (preferably) for my 89 944 S2 and have found little to nothing. This strikes me as odd, since there is a huge aftermarket for these cars, it seems that outside of other Porsche cars there is very little in 17" a few in 18", and nothing in 16". Any help with brands or links to try is appreciated!!

TIA!!

Some of the lightest OEM wheels for our car ar the 16" forged club sports. My car originally came with 7's & 9's but I have found (after much searching) a pair of 8's to go on the fronts. If you wannt the 7 x 16 's PM me and make me an offer.

16" tire sizes (245/45's) seem to be less common, I think 17's are the 'wave of the future'.
Check out Fikse wheels, they're not cheap, but they're light and beautiful. Here's my friends car w/ some Fikses...
