Lightest 15"-16" Wheels / Rims?
 
Hey, I'm in the market for some new 15"-16" wheels for the track.
Please contribute and post a pic or further info on the rims in which you think are lightweight. Price, make and bolt pattern put aside.

Some of my ideas are:

SSR Type-C's or Competitions
http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/imag..._typecgold.png

15" starting at 8.0 lbs each
16" starting at 11.0 lbs each

Volk Racing TE37's
http://rayswheels.co.jp/emenu/datas/VOLK/01_TE37/02.JPG

15" starting at 8.5 lbs each
16" starting at 11.2 lbs each

Spoon Sports SW388's
http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/imag...orts_sw388.png

15" starting at 8.6 lbs each
16" starting at 11.9 lbs each

Mugen MF8's
http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/imag...s/mugenmf8.png

16" at 12.0 lbs each

Mugen MF10's
http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/imag...mf10mirror.png

16" at 11.0 lbs each

If cash is an issue check these out
http://enkei.com/HPSpecPAGES/rpf1Specs.html

From what I have seen they retail b/w
$800-$900 USD from a guy on ebay.
Now I did see them retail $230 USD each on an online retailer.

same here... but what are the weight specs on it?
if only they weren't so expensive..

konig heliums are also a wise choice!

Nova_Dust 05-Feb-2004 12:46 PM

Lightest 15" x 6.5 is SW388 (8.6). TE37 is 0.2 lb more.

Spoon will be my only choice.

imported_gatherer 05-Feb-2004 12:47 PM

wieght is over rated.... wanna go fast mod the driver... I can't afford those rims....

imported_SW20 MR2 05-Feb-2004 01:48 PM

Racing Hart CP-035 is another possibility.

bbarbulo 05-Feb-2004 01:58 PM

Konig Subzero was my 2nd choice

15" starting at 7.9lbs each.

.1 lbs lighter than the ssr type-c's.

not that it matters much. but thanks for the suggestion sw20! btw, how's the mr2 lookin like now? still w/ the volk gt-p's?

all the information here can be found on www.wheelspecs.com

Nova_Dust 06-Feb-2004 12:03 AM

7.9lb, not bad for 15x6 :)

imported_SW20 MR2 06-Feb-2004 10:20 AM

It's still in the shop. You can see pics of my paintjob and bodwork on the link below. Yep, I still got the GT-P's. :D

mod the driver? as in to gain more driving experience? or literally, like to shed some pounds, lose weight? haha

That's a lot of selections...

So, how much are you gonna spend? If money ain't issue, get the most expensive ones... :D

ryuujin 07-Feb-2004 03:38 AM

whatever happened for the love of Volk CE28N's?! They're like the lightest in the Volk category :p Well of course depending on size :p But CE28N are yummy :D

yea man.. but i couldn't find any specs for them. they are somewhat like the design of the mugen mf8 so i guess they'd be the same weight... around 9lbs.

anything forged by volk is as light as a jap umbrella girl.
