    You could try the Konigs from Maximum Motorsports.

    They are a similar style, about the same weight (21/22 lbs) but are ~ $40 cheaper per wheel:

    I posted a pic of them on your other post. The XP's look good and not everyone has them like the cobras, cobra r's, bullitts, etc.

    take a standard 10th anniversary cobra rim at 30lbsx4=120lbs
    take a steeda rim at 17 poundsx4=68 lbs
    a total savings of 52 pounds which is rotating weight and is very worth losing it as heavy as cobra's are
