lightweight wheel for drag strip

im looking for a lightweight wheel for the drag strip.
any of you guys know any wheels prolly under the 14-15lb range in 5x100 bolt pattern. price is no option here.
my reverbs are 19lbs each but their 18's, so its more rotating mass, any help would be much appreciated

I think there are ones that are lighter. it's from SSR. they are hard to find.

if you're okay with 14 pounds, Centerlines weigh that much.

I do love the Trak Lites though.

I use the stock steel wheels when I race. They are cheap, light, and it's easy to find a set of worn down tires to fit them.
