hm... considering the price, I really love the Rotas...
I've been thinking of another set of Slipstreams for race tires..
but then it will be too boring..
hmmm.... (think hard)..................................
can anyone give other 'not so expensive' wheels other than rotas? (opinion, suggestions, etc)
since $$ is really hard to come these days, I think I might have to say bye2 to MF10s... (and they're 16s too, so more $$ for the tires)

 

I run on Kosei K1's. 15x7. Somewhere around 12 lbs.

In place of the MF10, how about Rota C8?

 

c8's only come in 4 lug.

 

umm..if I am not mistaken, Rota C8 = MF8..... = 4 lugs...
if I have a 4 lugs conversion, I might put on my Jwing Rims that I have lying around since I sold my Del Sol...

 

oops...sorry.

I have a wheel page that tells you ALL the aftermarket rim's weight, but it's down right now.

You can also look into some Mazda rims, or go here for some other info:

I like K-1s as well. But for streets, I prefer a 16" 45+ offset Slipsteram

I think the best bang for buck light weight wheels are the Mazda Millenia's (12lbs). But, I pick this wheel with the following assumptions:
1. You do not care about looks (they can be painted though)
2. You are running a stock size tire or close to stock size
3. You are not doing "heavy" track days. The wheels may not be super strong. I will use them on track days, but for real racing, maybe not.

I picked up a set for $150 !! from Greenleaf in Texas. 817-831-0946

 

.....since you don't want another set of slipstreams, why not get some subzero's?

Should be equally as light...

 

Buddyclub racing PF (?)
cast version looks similar to K1.
$150 each.
10.5 lbs each

there was a thread here about the QF I think, the forged version.... and in that thread was a link to a shop who will sell the cast version.
not bad at $150 each for a 10.5 lb wheel.

 

I couldn't agree more, I picked these up for $180 and painted them black. They are waiting fopr Azenis tires...

 

Personally, I think I'm gonna get a set of these...D-Power TS-05's when I have the funds to build my track car. I like the way they look and I can get them for cheaper than Rota's. They don't come in 15" tho, just 16" and weigh the same as the Rota C8's.

 

My k1's are a little more than 13.4 pounds (forgot the second decimal place numeral.)

 

Stern Aguzze? They are cheap\light\5-Lug

Suprdave

 

Yeah, those are pretty nice too...here's a pic in case ppl dunno what they look like...

 

Those Aguzze, available in 15 inch?

 

Yeah, 15", 17" and 18". go to http://www.machiii.net to check them out. I think they're only available in 1 or 2 colors.

 

[QUOTE]D-Power TS-05's QUOTE]

where can you get those wheels, look like the rsx r wheels

 

Yeah I also want more info on those D-Power TS-5..
(weight, offset, etc)..
too bad there's no 15s...
how heavy are the 16 and 17?

 

Piyoimut and gsr98vtec: look at my sig for info on the D-Power TS-05's. They weigh 1lb/in so the 16" are about 16lbs, same as Rota Circuit8's. They come in +40 or +45 offset and either silver, white, bronze, or gunmetal (tho, gunmetal is an extra $30/wheel). If you're in socal, you can come pick them up. If not, then a zip code is needed for estimate shipping. Email me at jainikke@yahoo.com if you need more info or have more questions. Thanks.

 

Work Emotion copies already! doh!
but they do look good!

We have the ts-05`s on the s2k in "hyper black"




[Modified by vtecvoodoo, 11:42 PM 2/4/2002]

 

Kosei K.1 Racing 1570 they run about $750cdn or around $470usd per set.

Buddyclub P.1 SF (Cast version) is about $150usd per wheel. I think the P.1 QF (Forged version) 15s will be way over your budget.

 

I have these also:



Going on the new EK once it`s outta the shop

Ooh, sweet Ryan! Do you have more pics of that stook? I wanna add them to my online album. That isn't yours right?...yours is silver, no? Who's is that?

 

I have a few more pics but need to upload. I can`t believe we`ve had it for over two years!
