Hey guys,

I was just thinking about wheels, and was wondering who makes the lightest 16" rims.... Does anybody know? Is it Spoon?

 

Buddy club's are lighter I think.

mugen mf10's

 

 

So buddy club P1s are the lightest 16" rim? Anyone know what they weigh in at?

 

Check the site:
16 x 7.0 45 4 / 100 11.44 lb
45 4 / 114 11.22 lb
45 5 / 100 11.33 lb
45 5 / 114 11.11 lb

 

SSR Type-C (called Competitions in the US) SSF 16x7 11.0

 

actually the lightest wheel in 16x7 is

1) Racing Hart CP-035 = 10.8 lbs
2) Mugen MF10 & SSR Type C (Competition in US) = 11.0 lbs
3) Volk TE37 = 11.2 lbs

all info taken from http://www.wheelweights.net/

 

unless cp0 35 not aware for 5 lug around 9lbs

 

did anyone hear anything about the new gram lights?

 

Nope, got any info, pics?

 

I heard that they aren't very "Light"...

 

LOL. How Ironic.

 

theyre cast as well

 

I am looking for a lighter rim than my Spoons... but that also look good on PY. hmmmm

 

Well, the one that U.S. has now is cast, which is labelled 57C. Its weight is around 16 lbs for 17x7.5 (no 16" info as of now), for comparison purpose, the TE37 in 17x7.5 is about 13.5 lbs. In Japan, there's another version of Gram Light and it's labelled 57F. This is the forged version and it's supposed to be lighter like TE37. However, the only size available (in Japan) is 17", nothing smaller. I saw this forged version at the IAS in Long Beach last month in Mackin's booth. I would think that Mackin is gonna bring the forged version in the U.S. as well.

 

Volk bronze te-37's or mugen mf10s.

 

Tried and True.

 

*drool*

 

They aren't....

I would like someone to throw on some 16" Volk CE28N's on the scale.... my guess is, they would be right up there.
