I'm looking for some 18 or 19" wheels, around or under $200, that weigh 22lbs or less. What are my best looking options?

Weight reduction is the real goal here but also want them to look good because they'd be for daily driving not track visits.

For at 800 or under 800 it will be very tough what you need is a rotory forged wheel the cost of production is more expensive so the cost is more expensive.

This is true if he is ok with allocating a bit more, but I believe he wanted 19s bro.
He actually said 18's or 19's in his original post.

With that said, if he can get 19's he definitely should as 18's usually just look a tad too small on these cars, (IMO of course) whereas the right 19" wheel looks perfect.

Ultimately though, he needs to compromise on either weight or price, unless he finds something used.

The SVE wheels are hard to beat for the money. They are not super light but they are also not heavy. 19x10 deep dish wheel that weighs only 26lbs for $185 is impressive. Looks nice too, IMO, if you don't mind rivets.

If your budget is more then that opens open a ton of other options of course, but on the cheap those SVE wheels are great from all I have heard.

if you can stretch your budget a little bit though, he's another BARGAIN.

These are actually flow forged wheels weighing only 20 lbs in a 19x9.5 wheel, for only $259/wheel:

This might be what you are looking for:

They come in black or silver. Here is a whole thread about them, with pictures:

I think I put the price point too low lol just wanted to present a bit of a challenge so ppl didn't post up the more expensive options.

The ones Kbreese posted up actually have my interest. I just want to get rid of the heavy PP wheels when I get my next set of tires. I also like the TSW Bathurst's

$1100 would probably be my cap though

Yeah, Imagine losing 13lbs of rotational mass at each corner. That's a difference you will definitely feel! With the added bonus of getting wider wheels with a better more aggressive offset.

I also like the TSW Bathurst too, and I'm sure Paul @ N4S can help you out with that, if you want to stretch the budget a bit. That's another great bang-for-the-buck wheel.

Either way, good luck!

The TSW would be a awesome choice

$1100 cap may be a tad too low for the TSW but we can see what can be done.

The TSW Interlagos are the same price and just a tad lighter than the Bathursts and Nurburgrings across all their offered sizes. TSW is probably the best rotary forged wheels you can get for the money.
