I've had my eye out for lighter wheels for my Acura, but I'm looking on the used market since $800 for slightly faster acceleration and better handling seems like too much.

If all you are looking for is light, then the 16" 16.5 pound Acura RSX wheels should be just fine. I had the stock 215/50/17 tires and 23.5 pound 17" rims and switched to 205/60/16s. The difference in acceleration was noticeable, even for my not-underpowered V6, but the extra squishiness in corners was also noticeable.

My OEM 17x6.5 wheels weigh more!
