Need autocross wheel suggestions

Hello all. Need some suggestions for 16" autocross wheels. Lightness is the key, and looking good is nice too. Thanks in advance for your help!

You plan on staying stock?
That makes a big difference.

Do you have a budget in mind or are you simply looking for the lightest wheel that you can get?

If I can afford them when the time comes (car is on the way) I'll pick up the SSR's but I was curious as to if there were any other choices in the 16" size. You seem to be able to get 16x7s all over the place but 16x6.5s seem to be much more rare. I will say I'm not interested in spending cubic money to have a set made by the ultra custom manufacturers unless they're magically cheaper than the SSR's.

Yesterday I ordered 16 x 7.5 Kosei K-1 Racing rims from the Tire Rack at a closeout price of $159.00 US each. They weigh in at 15lbs.
