Lightest '18 Wheels for our car?

What are the most light weight wheels anyone has found for our beloved xD? I found these 18x8 Oz Aleggerita HLT's in matt blue with CF centers that only weigh 17lbs...but of course they have the wrong bolt pattern and offset and thus won't fit our cars

.

I am set on the CF center and yes, I know I can have a similar wheel painted but I'm having trouble finding any 18's that fit our car that are anywhere near as light as the Aleggerita's I like so much. Thoughts?

Thanks so much guys, I"ll check 'em out. And Slim, those look great indeed.

So am I correct that we need 5x100 with 35-40 offset for our xD's?

The bolt pattern is 5x100, you're right but the offset is completely up to you, depending on your drop and how aggressive you want to run those bad boys.

yep
those were
17x8+45, and 18x8+35 in the rear, minor rubbing, but if you get a 8 inch tire, i suggest getting a 215 size tire so you dont rub bad
