Want to get different rims for my slicks. Need advice.

I currently have some Ultra Wheels on my 28X16X10 Hoosiers and I really don't like them too much. They are heavy and they make the slicks stick out on the sides. I was wondering what's a good rim for these tires that is light and will keep the slicks in the wheel wells where they belong... besides Bogarts???? Maybe Baja's???

Okay, I forgot to put in my post that I don't have the money for Bogarts right now. Plus, I am not that serious about weight reduction yet.

SW, I have Eagle Alloy's that look like Centerline Convo Pro's in 16x10, I think they look better than the Baja's are reasonably priced ( 140.00 per )and are far lighter than stock.

Do you happen to know how much each one weighs? How far do they stick out on the sides?

SW,The exact weight I don't know,sorry, but they are far lighter than stock. As for how far they extend out of the wheel wells, they don't, they sit very nice in the wells.

SW, Just a quick side note I checked of Eagle Alloys web site to try a find the weight and can't find the wheels I have, I don't know if I just missed them or they were discontinued.

I'm looking at the Diamond Racing Wheel. It's not the lightest or best looking
but you can get about any backspacing that you want. I think some of the
Gen1 guys are running these wheels.
