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:

Konig Villian Wheels at MM

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
