Need racing rim recommendation

there's a handful a roll racing events setup for this season that I'm planning to go to & I need a good wheel+tire setup because i have no plans to race around with the 20's i have on now. these races are from a roll around a raceway with straight sections where you can get well into the triple digits
that in mind, can anyone recommend a light weight, decently strong wheel that would be good for this, that doesn't look like complete crap or break the bank. i have around $800 budget for the rims, will worry about tires after.

You can have a lightweight rim, a strong rim and an inexpensive rim.
Pick which two you want

This guy speaks the truth.

Cheap, light wheels+heavy car and high speed=X

Since X is an unknown that involves your (and others) safety.. Think twice!!

true, which is why i'd want them to be adequately strong

the CLK's are very light, very strong and cheap. so its not impossible to get , im just wondering if there are other good options at around the same price
