Lightweight sierra discs (any alternatives?)

Anyone seen any alternatives to these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GROOVED-LIGHTENED-SIERRA-DISCS-SUIT-LOCOST-FURY-ETC_W0QQitemZ120207140774

I seem to recall Raceleda did some lightweight discs but that company doesn't exist any more???

Dont like those at all!!

The weight saving is tiny and youre removing a lot fo the shear area (disks arent mounted by the bolts, simply friction between wheel and hub)

I think what they've done is quite neat - but would have a good look at where my wheel mates on the disc before using it - would want wheel to mate fully on un-cut portion.

if its unsprung weight you are saving, i would go for ally uprights and hubs first.

They look almost identical to our Hi-spec discs, although ours are drilled not grooved. Not sure if Hi-spec still do them but gotta be worth a try.
