In fact, if you look at most of the other OEM wheels (for a Japanese brand car at least), the wheels are cast aluminum made by Enkei.

It'll be hard trying to find an aftermarket wheel that weighs less than the sport package wheels. But then again, the weight difference should be negligible since the wheel width, contact patch, and tire width are going to be increased, or else, why bother with new wheels right?
yeah your right but the volk g2's are much lighter then the sp wheels.

im not 100% on this but i think that the 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 are under 20lbs but the sp wheels are around 23lbs.
