Yes, I agree.

The looking I've done so far has not yielded a lot of choices.  When you
apply filters like 16x7.5, 5x108mm pattern, 38mm offset, you really don't
have a lot to choose from.  If you go to 16x7, some more choices appear.
I'm probably going to go with the lightest 16x7.5" I am happy with
esthetically.  No one publishes weight data, so that forces a phone call.
All the wheels I've seen are in the 19 lbs or higher category.
