Just like title says, which are a few of the lightest 15x7 rims for under $700. Looking to sell my enkei rs5 17x7 for some lighter 15s.

 

The usual....Slipstreams, Kosei K1's, Prorace1's, blah blah blah.

 

kosei k1's get my vote

 

Enkei Rpf-1 15x7 are like 9.5lbs
Falken Hanabi 15x7 are 11lbs (edgeracing.com is selling them for $89 per wheel right now)
Axis Maglites 15X7 are around 10-11lbs
Kosei and slipstreams 15x7 are 13-13.5lbs

 

konig heliums 10.5 lbs less than $80 per wheel

i've seen a dozen pictures of heliums failing...

lightest "cheap" wheel are enkei rpf1s. they are around $850 new.

really though, unless you're racing competitively, there is no reason to care as long as a wheel is under ~15lbs you really won't notice much of a difference. pretty much any rota, 5zigen copse, falken hanabi, kosei k1, team dynamics pro race 1, konig network.

http://www.wheelweights.net/ - list by size and go down to the 15x7 section.

 

Heliums are also only 6.5" wide.
Not that its that big of a deal, but he did ask for 7".

 

Yeah, i'm looking for 15x7 so not to lose traction. How good are those falken hanabi's they're really cheap in price, but how strong are they? Anyone had any experience with these rims? Thanks

Konig Next's come in a 15x7. They weigh 14 pounds and I paid $350 for my set with a mostly worn-out set of V710's on them. Seems like a decent wheel for the money.

 

from what i see in the pic's it is a manufacture defect in the casting of the wheel. which i have seen on other konig wheels like the diva's for example. and since those post are pretty old i will stick with what i have...my next wheel will be the konig minus they way the same as the heliums.... but thank you for the post's link and extra knowledge thank you

 

here can i find them for that price? The cheapest i've found is $90 a piece, plus shipping and handling.

 

We need pics!!
