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 |

Lightest 15" x 6.5 is SW388 (8.6). TE37 is 0.2 lb more.
Spoon will be my only choice. |
wieght is over rated.... wanna go fast mod the driver... I can't afford those rims....
|
Racing Hart CP-035 is another possibility.
|
Konig Subzero was my 2nd choice

7.9lb, not bad for 15x6 :)
|
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

I think 2G CDN will get you majority of the decent wheels in this thread.
|
some more lightweights...
5Zigen FN-01R's
http://www.5zigenusa.com/images/whee...1r_mattblk.jpg 15" starting at 10.5 lbs each Konig Helium's http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/imag...nig_helium.png 15" starting at 10.8 lbs each |
That's a lot of selections...
So, how much are you gonna spend? If money ain't issue, get the most expensive ones... :D |
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

Originally posted by monkeymagic 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. I don't think they're as light as 9lb, but if I remember correctly the lightest rim in production at 15" is the Spoon SW88... or the Regamaster :nods: Someone correct me if I'm wrong, cuz my memory sucks! :) |

|
someone should sticky this... |
15" comes in different widths (I am sure you all know) so depending on what width you want, different weight applies.
Like I said, the lightest 15x6.5 is SW388 (3.88kg). Not the lightest in 15" family, but lightest 15x6.5 in the market. So Monkey, have you made up your minds on what rim to get? |

So Monkey, have you made up your minds on what rim to get? as for my rim choice it's up in the air... advand rg's, ssr competitions, work emotion cr kai's, wedsports.. basically, something bronze-gold. u can't go wrong w/ that in either a white or black car. |
I see. Yes Bronze colour looks amazing on just about any car. If I weren't so stubborn on SW388 flat black look, I would go with Buddy Club QF wheel.

Either way, it is 5 spoke or 6, 4 lug or 5 lug, black or bronze. Pretty easy to pick if you ask me. My goal is to have a new set of rims on my car after 20 months.
|
I want RG's :yummy:
