I am looking at getting some wheels very soon and I found the best and lightest wheel possible for our cars. I have decided on getting the Motegi TrackLite it is forged and weighs 14 lbs in the 17x7, and only 1 lb more for 17x8. it is flate black and looks great on my fiji blue car. I was just wondering what you guys thought. The wheels cost 280 a wheel and I am gonna be running BF Goodridge G-Force T/A KDW.

 

Look around you should be able to get those rims for a little cheaper. (my dad owns a tire store) I can find out the invoice on them this week. That sounds like too much for a motegi

 

thats not lighter than te37s

 

Rota's are pretty light.

 

Yeah those TE37's are prob the lightest I thought.....

my te37's in 17" are only 15lbs and change


here are the tracklite specs

There's always lighter than that. TE37Mags... I think in the 17x8 they're running just over 11lbs... but they're Magnesium wheels, and I think they're out of everyone's price range here. The Cliche SSR Comps will be competitively light for you too. Give it a month, and I'm sure someone will know of a lighter wheel. I know for where I live, I'd prefer a slightly stronger wheel, because NY roads suck. You definitely want to take that into consideration. Hell, I bent a set of wheels driving to work... and a set at Watkins Glen...

 

i've been trying to find em but

i found some wheels that were 17x7 i think, 12lbs - i'll post the info when i find em

Please dont take away points!

 

 

how about 17x9 .. would that work on the FG coupe?

 

17x9 would probably work, but its a civic why so wide
