Lightweight 16-inch wheels
I am looking for lightweight 16-inch wheels for my Legacy, something around 11-14 lbs. Stile is not that important, but the price is. Everything I like usually costs $250+ for one wheel.
Is there any cheap lightweight wheels? PS I probably don't need much offset since I got 2.5 degrees of negative camber.

Anything under 16lbs is going to be that expensive. The lightest 16" wheels are probably the WRX stock wheels, and the 7" wide RS wheel.
Most WRX owners selling used wheels will have upgraded to 17 or 18", so finding a smoking deal is not likely on 16" flyweights.

Doubtful, but check out the Forester 5-star flat spokes. Phil weighed them and found they are lighter than WRX wheels. I paid $125 ea. from an expensive junk yard. They definitely feel pretty light, but haven't actually weighed them. The 'torque thrust' style Foresters may be light too, but they're harder to find.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.
Err... here's a 15" but it's cheap for a forged wheel, 11.5lbs, $169, gold or white.
