There are several forged wheels that look great and are very lightweight. Here are a few that come to mind:

Fikse FM5 17x8 = 16 lbs.
Fikse Mach V 17x8 = 16 lbs.
BBS RG-R 18x8 = 18 lbs.
OZ Ultraleggera HLT 17x8 = 16.7 lbs. / 18x8 = 18 lbs.

However, the lightest wheel I have seen so far are some trick Carbon Fiber wheels from Dymag.

Dymag Carbon Fiber
17x8 = 12.9 lbs.
18x9 = 14 lbs.
20x12 = 18.2 lbs.

Good luck!

Although not the lightest, I like the new CF5 from 360 Forged. Its a forged aluminum wheel hand-wrapped in carbon fiber. They are still pretty light.

19x9 = 20.7 lbs.
20x9 = 21.4 lbs.
