well, the TE37 from volk is very light but not as light as the Ce28N, from im aware, the 15" Ce28N is one of the lightest rims you can buy, do a search for them, alot of people have them. and there are a few places on the net that sell them for about 2K a set

Do some searching for previous posts on this - should find some good info as it is a popular subject. I must add to the mix the SSR Competition. In a 17x7.5" they're about 12.5 lbs. I've had good luck with this wheel on my wagon for about 30k miles. Here's the wheel I have.

The "appearance" rating is just my subjective impression, chuck it if you wish.

Forging gives the metal more strength per unit of mass - so the forged wheels are generally "better," but you'll pay more for this property. Forged wheels can also have more "radical" designs because spokes can be narrower due to the increase in strength.

15's will not clear the calipers of a WRX. You need to at least have 16's. Unless you have the Subaru 4pots, then you have the chance of clearing some 15inchers. I know because I have a set for the winter when skiing.
