Even forged 1-piece 20's are going to affect performance but it won't be as bad...
I have 3-piece forged 20" and while my acceleration and brake have been affected, it's not nearly as bad as having some really heavy cast 20" wheels. But I've upgrade my brakes (AP Racing) so that takes care of the slowing down part and I'm going to install a Supercharger so that'll take care of the acceleration part...
Also, avoid chrome as it adds extra weight...if you want the "shine", try a high polished finish instead (it adds no extra weight).

here is a pretty good website
http://home.earthlink.net/~cvlocas/wheels.html
the 2 lights wheels i came across that website are
BBS RSII 20x9 27.4 lbs (20x10: 28.3 lbs)
HRE 546 200x9 27.0 lbs
I don't know about fitment, but both are forged

heh..so u want 20" wheels for performance? lol...sorry just sounds funny. any 20" wheel, you wheel sacrifice performance since its a larger diameter...more rotating mass.

He probably just don't want to hurt his existing performance in terms of acceleration and braking....I don't think he's going to be a psycho and track his car on 20's...unlike me...
