Has anyone looked into lighter wheels than the stock ones?

I was considering Centerline as a possible aftermarket option.
In the Centerline Wilderness Vector (a six spoke - closest to the stock in appearance, IMO), they offer a 8.5' width and a 9" width.

Any comments?

I know the Method Race wheels are lighter and have been EXTREMELY popular (as in almost everyone runs them), especially in flat black.

Center Line Wheels
I didn't see a weight listed for the Centerlines.

From what I have heard the Centerlines are about 21lbs.
I'd have to verify before stating any further.

If I get a break at work tomorrow I'll call Centerline.

I just got off the phone with a salesman at Centerline.
The Centerline Wilderness Vector (a heavy duty wheel) in either size 17"x8.5" or 17"x9" is about 28lbs. Cost: $279.00 per wheel

This is quite a bit more than I was hoping.
If I'm not mistaking the stock Raptor wheels are about 31lbs.
If that's true, I'd only be saving about 3lbs per wheel.
I'm not sure, from a functionality benefit, that it's cost effective enough for me. ($93 per pound reduction per wheel)
Any other thoughts... ??
