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
15" starting at 8.0 lbs each
16" starting at 11.0 lbs each
Volk Racing TE37's
15" starting at 8.5 lbs each
16" starting at 11.2 lbs each
Spoon Sports SW388's
15" starting at 8.6 lbs each
16" starting at 11.9 lbs each
Mugen MF8's
16" at 12.0 lbs each
Mugen MF10's
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.

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