If you want to live up to your signature go for the lightest:
Zuffenhaus 3 piece

CCW and BBS make great wheels also. You may check into Superlite and Ultralite wheels too, I like the way they look but its all personal preference. I run CCW's on my race car and Zuffenhaus on my project/street car. Lindsey's Fuchs are built on cut down 25 year old centers, I'm not big on that.

I just got a set of TruDesign wheels back for my wide body and love them. Send a message to Buckterrier here. He has a set for narrow bodied car for sale that look beautiful and are very reasonably priced.

I don't know about the weight of the Zuffenhaus 7.5" wheels, but the 9" and 11" set I have weigh about 16 lbs and 17 lbs each, respectively, on my bathroom scale.
