Can anyone tell me, what would the lightest rims be for everyday use..?

Thanks

 

i like the volk te37. regamasters are pretty light as well.

 

listed by price (high to low)

Volk CE28 = 8 lbs (15x6.5) / 9.1 lbs (15x7)
Volk TE37 = 8.8 lbs(15x6.5)/ 9.2 lbs (15x7)
SSR Competition = 8.8 lbs (15x6.5)/ 9.2 lbs (15x7)
Enkei RPF1 = 9.8 lbs (15x7)
Konig Heliums = 11 lbs (15x6.5)
Rota Slipstreams = 12 lbs (15x6.5) / 12.9 (15x7)

 

Enkei RPF1's are probably the best bang for your buck outta that list

That's a trick question!

For everyday use, rim weight doesn't matter.

 

Well I dont mean everyday use as in evryday...I use my spin werks and VP Lenso's on the Strip, but when I want to take the car out on the road, I want a rim that is lighter than your normal everyday rim.....


thanks for the info guys!

Good question, I was about to ask the same

 

 

Can the wheels mention here be use for drag racing, besides using them everyday?

Is there a website that will show your car and you can choose how your car will look with different wheels .

X2, I will like to know also, in case I go with this rims, also are originals right? Not some imitations one. Sorry But todays days they can make a knock off of anything out there.

And once again, is there a site that let you see how you car will look with different type of rims, that way it will be easier to decide which rim you like the best.

 

discounttiredirect.com has an interactive program that lets you "try on" wheels on your car. Unfortunately, they don't have every car, i.e. they don't have ef hatches

AMEN. I have a set of those wheels, and if you're looking for a cheap, lightweight wheel, there is NOTHING that costs close to what these cost that weigh as little as these.

I've had mine for a little over 2 years and over 20k miles and they're still perfect...I hit a huge pothole that dented my stock header pretty bad and dented the oil pan, and there was absolutely no damage to the wheels at all. I've gone through a lot with these things...in this size with normal sidewall tires (195/55 or 205/50) they'll put up with a lot of abuse.

All amazing wheels...the Falkens should definitely be added there as a possibility.

Falken Hanabi = 11lbs (15x7)

...and they're noticeably cheaper than even the Slipstreams.

 

Again...where did you find rpf-01's for $117 apiece????

Edgeracing.com has them for $199-$203 apiece, and they're the cheapest I've seen around.

 

I'm surprised no one mentioned Konig Heliums! These I believe are rated as one of the lightest wheels. I've been using these for about a year now through pot holes, and all sorts of rough roads with no issues. The wheels are very affordable as well.

Here's a link, although I'm sure you could find them even cheaper.

Yeah, but only if you get them in lame 15x6 size...if you're looking at 15x7s, the Volk TE-37s are the lightest at 9.15lbs each.

1. they're round, why not?
2. tire rack has one

 

the RPf1's are a good choice

but buddy club sf or qf are some nice light wheels that are affordable
