name some lightweight rims

[maka_RTH]

volk gram lights = 15 lbs

12lb 17" wheel is better.

i agree. i still want to go with the SSR's, but i don't want to spend $1500 just on the rims. i'll prolly end up going with these centerlines, about 13lbs i believe

(^click the pic to go to wheel info, they don't list weight though...)

I just bought a set of 16" Rota Slipstreams and they weight 13.6 lbs a piece and they look sick as hell!

I know Konig Heliums weigh like 10.8 lbs or something for 15"... That's what I wanna put on my hatchback. I think they may not be made anymore though, so I have to act fast!

I might sell my 17s and buy these

I'm buying a set of 17" Heliums for my 92 very soon.

www.treadepot.com has a special on em. $599 for 15" with tires and lugs, shipped. $799 for 17". I really can't find a better deal than that, not even for Rotas!


And I was wrong, obviously. They are still around. Bronze and silver.

Nice deal, but the tires aren't the best. At discounttiredirect you could pay a bit more ($636) and get them with Falken 512s. But I'm definitely going to consider buying those 15s. My 17s are just too heavy and the lowpros are too stiff for me.

True, the Kumho 711s really do kinda suck. Still, it's good enough to get me started! I'll upgrade to some better tires, probably 45s as well instead of 40s, whenever those go bad.
