lightweight and cheap are kinda hard to put in the same sentance usually, and definately if you want to throw in quality... I think American Racing just came out w/ some lightweight "racing" wheels, but I don't know about their quality or anything... you could try getting some used panasport wheels or something

Unless cheap is describing the quality...

i don't know what break the bank means for you. but i have forged 5Zigen FN-01R's 15x7. they only come in black or white. and they weigh 10.5 lbs. discount tire will sell you them for $280.00 per wheel special order. 5Zigen makes the same wheel in a cast line up not as light but lighter then most and can be had for Under $150 some places i think they weigh like 15 or 14 lbs in a 15x7 this wheel is called FN01R-C, and have many colors available. i have seen no one flossin these wheels in the central florida area. here is what the forged ones look like on my car

Work emotions are not light are they? I'd consider light to be about 12lbs. for a 15'' wheel.

How much to 15'' Work Emotions weigh?

Nope.

Work Emotion 15x7 = 15lbs.

Check their site:

http://www.worksuperwheels.com....html

Work Emotion = no lighter than stock 99-00 Civic Si wheel or most any other Honda 15'' alloy wheel.

If you don't mind used rims, be patient and search on Ebay or local classified. I would do that if you really want to save a buck of two. But of course, check the condition before purchase.

the flik blasts weigh 12.2lbs look around their site it tells you

i would get some Axis Maglites they look cool as hell to me and they can be had in either white or gun metal and cost around 600 a set. the 4 spoke design may not be for everybody but i like them.


i would also say go with a set of speedmasters because i know someone that has a set in gun metal with a polished lip and they look sweet as hell
