In my quest for light weight auto-x wheels, I have found out alot. 
The Koenig are probably a safe bet for strength, they are however in
the 15-19lb range (similar to stock weight).  However, from what I
have been told (no first hand experience) the ABT road wheels featured
by AMS http://www.advancedmotorsports.com are some of the "strongest"
wheels available.  They are made in Germany.  NOTE:  ABT not to be
confused with ATS (no longer in the US).  

You may want to check with Jim Buck, he seems to have some wheels and
info.  Right Jim?

I wouldn't mind viewing it.  Let me know when it's done.  More
propaganda to add to my "Convert to VW" stash for converting friends
to the VW way of life. ;-)
