Aside from the forgestar 20s what are some of the other brands with lighter wheels?

TSW nurburgrings.

Basically anything flow formed will be light and decently priced
You could go fully forged but be prepared to pay a pretty penny for it.

I just ordered the Motegi 126s currently advertised frequently in the ribbon at the bottom of the page.
Here's the math for the SS:

OE front 20x8=30.3 wheel, 32 tire, total=62.3
OE rear 20x9=32 wheel, 36 tire, total=68
OE total=260.6 lbs

Motegi 126 with GMax UHP A/S

front 20x8.5=22 wheel, 26 tire, total=48
rear 20x10=25 wheel, 30 tire, total=55
Motegi/GMax total=206

Total weight savings=54.6 or 13.65 per corner with wider wheels (tires are same size).

That's a noticeable amount of unsprung weight to save and I wouldn't exactly call this combo "exotic".
