Need HELP w/ lighter rims?
 

Ok I just want to know of some opinions on some of the lightest 15 inch rims 4 bolt of course. This has probably been asked before but im a newbie so dont flame me too bad https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif I went to the strip last weekend with my 17" chromies(dont ask) and I need serious weight reduction. Gonna sell my blingbling's 1st, buy new rims/tire combo, and gut the engine bay...a/c p/s etc...would've had this gsr if only 1-1/2 sec faster https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif Thanks

rota's best bet, cheap good lookin, light. a lot of people rock those, unless you wanna be baller and get volks, gram lights, or the real spoon or real mugens!! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

i got the rota slips and they are about 4 pounds heavier than the actual spoon ones which i think are 11 pounds i recommend those https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

As everyone already has stated rota wheels are fairly light and are inexpensive. If your looking for really light wheels your gonna have to go to a forged wheel which = more money ie.. volks,real spoons,mugen, a few racing harts. I personally roll 15in racing hart cp-035's which weigh in at 7.9lbs and love them.

rotas are light for the price https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

You are correct. The CF wheels are simply an overlay over the aluminum.

As quite a few have stated before, Rotas are a great value for the money and are relatively light. If you're looking for equivalent wheels, I'd also recommend the Enkei RPF-1 and Koenig Helium. Both are light and strong without being too expensive.

Sorry, me again. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

Another option is a set of used Miata wheels. They're 4x100 and are made by Enkei. From what I remember, the 14" ones weighed something like 11 pounds on average, with the 15's being around 13.

I don't know what setup you have, but just note that you may have a clearance issue. The 15" Miata wheels I had fit our EX fine, but the smaller 14" ones wouldn't clear the front brake calipers. They cleared the rear discs fine.

One of my all time favorite rims. I will own a set in winning gold, someday. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Right now I have enkei rpf1. 15X7 9.5lbs, I love them!
