I dont think koblenz are the afordable lightweight solution you are looking for since they are not light per se. RPF1s are the best bang for the buck, but if you are looking at falkens, the hanabi is a better choice than the koblenz. They come in 17s too, which would save some weight and $$$$ especially when you consider how much tires cost. Try looking here:

Someone's always trying to sell a set of SSR Competitions on eBay. Still be a bit pricey though, but you never know!
