Lightweight Rim Suggestions?

Draman · 07-26-2008, 10:04 AM

Looking for some lightweight rim suggestions. I'm hoping to find rims in either 18x8.5f, 18x9.5r or 19x8.5f, 19x9.5r, low 20ish lbs each would be ideal. I really love the look of the OZ Ultraleggeras, but they are sadly not available in these sizes. Does anyone know of a rim with a similar style that can be had in either of these sizes? Thanks!

SSR Type C RS, Volk RE30

I should also say I definately want the staggered setup, so the SSR are no good for me. I'd like to keep the price around $500 each tops as well, so sadly most forged wheels are likely out of the question

D-Force LTW-5

Why do you want to go staggered? You'll perform much better non-staggered.... the SSRs are pure sex.

+1. Or the D-Force EmPower, if you prefer a mesh style to a 5-spoke. Vorshlag sells both syles:

Advan RS - 18" flavors available, with weights ranging from 17.5 to 19.0 lbs. A smidge over $500 per wheel. (Figure on a max of $2,500 with shipping for the set.)

TR Motorsports MT1's. 18" flavors, but you'd have to run 18x9 and/or 18x9.5 as they don't offer an 18x8.5 with the right offsets. About the same weights as the Advans (18'ish pounds.) Figure $1,300 max shipped for the set.

Those are the only two non-forged wheels that I know of that are sub 20 lbs and in the ballpark price-wise.

I went with Advan RS 18"x8.5 ET 32 and 18x9.5" ET 35 in Dark Gunmetal for my SG E90. I love these wheels!

ADVAN RS or RE30 or SSR type C !!!!!

Not for $500/wheel but any of the Volk Racing Series, TE, RE or CE.
