Default Whats a Good/Cheap/Light 15" rim?

well i bought a set of new tires for my 13" steelies and realize that with the height of the tire the side walls just roll right over and provide no performance so ive decided to go with 15" rims and tires since the tires are not too much more expensive than the 13" tires. What is a Good/Cheap/Light 15" rim besides used of course because i know someone is going to say what i have forsale is what u need, it always happens. ive seen packages on ebay with tires already mounted are there anyother good places to get 15" rims or a certain brand or model of rim that fits what Iam looking for?
Thank You

See if can find the wheels (they're 13s I think actually) off of a Honda Insight. They're ugly, but incredibly ------- light.

15"'s son i have 13" steelies now and they are probably as light at anyother 13" i need 15"'s

15" rota slipstreams for $450 shipped, does this sound about right?

rotas are the way to go if u want some pretty decent quality but affordable rims.

$450 sounds about right... i got my 16's for about 465 shipped... You might even be able to find some a bit cheaper but just depends on where you look

what about Konig Helium according to memeber on honda tech they weight 10.8pounds opposed to 13.5pounds of rotas and cost a little less

dunno they look pretty tight to me and alot of people have rotas now
