I've considered these Miata wheels (the 10.8Lbs), they are 4x100 but will need some "attention" in the centerbore aspect

Table of Wheel Weights

Along with some LRR 185 60 14, nice compromise to keep some drive ability yet some handling, anyhow this car can't even take 13" in the front due to brake size (I tried )

Cause with this agenda it's pointless to look at lightweight aftermarket wheels as they tend to go in the 15-16" and up, and larger diameter will typically mean wider wheels and "more" wheel period = more weight.
