I might be killing my own wheel sale here, but the OZs and the Volk's at Tirerack were the lightest.
If I remember correctly the OZs in 18x8.5 were about 17 lb and the 18 x 10 was about 18.5.
I weighed the stock rears we are talking about, in a cardboard wheel box and they were 27.5 lb., including the box that must be about 3 lb., judging from other boxes I buy and use all the time in my business.
Also, if I remember correctly the forged Volk wheels were about 2 lb. ea. lighter than the OZ, but I wasn't wild about the style, or the price.
I was really surprised how heavy the RS/GT BBS wheels are. They are about as heavy as the stock 987 S wheels and cost nearly 4 grand for the set, plus the rears need spacers.
I went by Brumos with the car today and it was a big hit. The service manager and parts manager were looking at it together and they decided to knock 200 bucks off the labor and sell me the springs at cost to get the car 20mm closer to the ground, where it belongs!! I may have to take them up on it. Buddy, the parts manager, said he'd throw in a set of clear side marker lenses! OF course it helps to have been friends with Buddy for, let's see.........since 1974?
