Default What are some light wheels for the track....

....on my M&H 23" slicks. I'm in the process of getting some new wheels and so far I'm leaning towards Konig Bronze heliums, Motegi track lites. I'm looking for some light inexpensive wheels.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Keep in mind these are only for the track.

Konig Heliums and Motegi Trak Lite don't belong in the same sentence. One (the Heliums) are cheap and light at 10.8lbs for 15"...the Trak Lite is light but expensive and is forged.

If you want light weight and cheap, pretty hard to beat the heliums. Also, Falken Hanabi is 11lbs for 15" and $80 or so for silver from edgeracing.com

WOW, the hanabi are a pretty good buy for the price. I think I might be purchasing a set of those. Thanx a ton for the find

Heliums $85 from treadepot.com (silver, bronze or black)
Hanabi $89 from edgeracing.com (silver or bronze)

both are plus shipping.

I personally like the look of the Hanabi better though, but Heliums are cheaper and come in a flat black finish too or bronze where as the Hanabi is silver or bronze only

Comps although nice rims are far from that....very, very far from inexpensive.

HX wheels are light as hell, and can be had quite cheap.
