Not sure if you would consider them to be the "best" but I have 17x8 BBS RKs on my ti, and they're only 17 lbs. each. And I've found BBS wheels to be fairly strong. Just another option...

Team Dynamics Pro Race 17x8 16-18lbs IIRC in white, black or silver, looks kinda like a Alpina wheel(10-11 spokes)

www.bimmerworld.com sells them for 189$ each.

These wheels have been speced by Bimmerworld to meet our demanding requirements for a lightweight race wheel. This means no spacers or hubcentric rings required for most applications (use of spacers is sometimes prefered for some track requirements). We have proven that these wheels will take a beating - multiple track weekends on this design have resulted in zero bent wheels, even while hitting curbs on the track very hard. At about 17 pounds, this is the only wheel we have found that combines lightweight design and strength at this price.
