Wheel Suggestions...88 Cab with Big Reds

Hey guys,

I have an 88 Cab that currently has Ruf Rims over a big red break upgrade. The Ruf wheels look awesome but are pretty heavy. I am thinking about swapping them for something lighter. Any suggestions for a set of wheels that would be light but still durable enough for every day use?

Can't go wrong w/ Forgeline or Fikse

Those Fiske Fuch replicas look extremely nice. I notice they are listed as not being for road use. Is that just Lawyer stuff or are they too fragile?
