Advan, hadnt really looked at? Any suggestions? Kinda would like the same weight range, forged as well, if poss.

I still really like Type X's as well, not as gouged, but very light, I just dont really like them on EF hatches.

Okay, that is nice, lol.
Hotsauce - Dual valve stems are for nitrogen purge.
The UL's do weigh just a little bit more than the RPF's and the type X's though. I like the 9lb range.
I never really thought it made THAT much of a difference, but when I had my type x's on a HX civic and then went to some heavy a$$ rikens for a while you could totally feel the difference, esp under acceleration.
15x7
RPF1 - 9lbs
Type X - 9lbs
TE37 - 9lbs
Type C's - 9lbs
BC QF - 9lbs

ITS THE "BEATER" LOOK
THE BUMPER DOESN'T LINE UP WITH THE FENDERS ALL THE WAY
AND IF I PAINT IT WHITE IT WILL BE MORE NOTICABLE
I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE I'M TRYING TO HARD TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO START PUTTING IN WORK ON THE CAR

Hotsauce, yeah, either PC or Paint. Personally I'd like to see someone do a cotton candy dipped wheel...
EDIT: Vega - hmmm rega's, didnt know they were that lite? They still look like painted steelies tho, lol. But that is good to know.
Another EDIT: Anyone know how much RSZ-R's weigh?

BC QF - 9lbs - Forged
SPOON/REGAMASTER - 8.5LBS - ? - I think Forged?
Re: (RSZero1)
yes the regamasters/spoons are forged. my roommate has a set of brights( chrome regamasters) for sale if you are interested. they are by far the lightest wheel I have ever held.
