These are very lightweight (20lbs F and 24lbs R) and include titanium lugs for $4k per set:

Or, you can get the new Manthey (BBS) magnesium 18" wheels (about 2lbs lighter each) for $8,700 a set...
Or, you can get the new DyMag magnesium (hub) and carbon fiber (rim) wheels which weigh in at only 14lbs (F) and 16lbs (R) for about $7,500 a set.
The stock lobsters are about 24 (F) and 28 (R).
