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

bahahh :p

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! :)

well then you're corrected.
the lightest rim in production at 15" is the racing hart cp-035 right now. check the postings above man.. 7.9lbs.

the next closest one is the ssr competitions or type-c's in north america at a measly 8.0lbs per rim at 15"

fine, the volks should be around 10lbs.

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?

yup, we all know that. i guess my mistake was that i assumed that the 15"&16" rims w/ the lowest weight in its narrowest width carried that same lowest weight-width ratio.

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.

yea, Buddy Club P1's are great too. these are weights for the QF forged rims...

15" starting at 9.9 lbs each
16" starting at 11.4 lbs each

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:
