Default design factors...

Looking aftermarket may not yield good results: As much as light weight may sound like an important variable, more critical is the actual spoke design, wheels surface(s) and related overall rotational wheel turbulance. Notice how flat & flush the OE wheel is. IMO the OE wheel can not be bested w/ most aftermerket designs. Form follows function in this context .
