i am in the process of getting some new wheels for my 2000 civic si and i was wondering if anyone has got any ideas about some that look good. i am going to get 17's and i drag so i am looking to drag with them too. so if anyone has any info on some 17's that are lightweight give me a holla.

 

Well first of all give us a price range and we'll go from there.

 

price range is not a factor right now i am just looking to see what is out there, so basically anything i guess but not to outrageous.

 

You are not always going to find both.

Look: Advan RG

Lightweight: Spoon SW

 

Drag racing with 17s?
I like Buddy Club P-1 Racing.
Just put them on my car with Falkens Azenis. 205 50 15.
Sticks to the ground. Scared a few friends.
Cant wait till it rains to see how they handle.
Hopefully they still stick. But nothing sticks when its wet.

 

hey i really like those buddy club p-1 racing wheels. i am thinking about getting the white ones to throw on my civic. it is black so i am sure it will look good. i am kinda looking for some type of silver wheels that is light though, but i do like the white wheels too.

yakima, cool...neways i say silver w/ black...imo it looks much better than white on blak

 

yeah i like silver on black better then white on black. so you l;ive in bellvue, i'm in lacey right now going to college at st. martins. but yeah i am looking for some light 17's.

 

te-37.

 

Volks te37.

 

it's really just personal preference. get what you like, or if you want to get some really lightweight wheels which do cost more but can make your car faster.

 

17's? and lightweight? = volk TE-37's..heavy on your pockets, but thats the only other light weight wheel that i know that would be 17's...or check out the kosei k-1 wheels..those are light weight too..and its pretty dope

 

i think i found some that i may want, they are the Enkei RSF2. ireally like the style of them and they are silver and the weigh 19lbs. so i am thinking of going with them, let me know what you think they will be on my black civic si.

 

Go with the Rota Circuit 8 or Slipstreams...If Not try the Konig Helium...Nice wheels and there really light..A little on the expensive side though

Racing Hart CP8-Rs. 17'' wheel that weights 12 lbs. about $1800w/ toyo tires

 

hey lil money 145 why dont you just get some ROTA wheels their cheap and hella light i think like 12 pounds a rim just go to 1201aeromotiv.com and email this guy named matt he"ll give you all the info on how much it is and what their good for but on his web site its only like 500 - 600 dollars for a set with wheels ... so check it out and just say pak sent you ........

 

also what things can i do to my engine to get some more horse power, it is pretty much staock right no with a fireball exhaust, dc sports header and a aem intake, so i was wondering what i can start doing to get some horses. i plan on either turbo or nos someday.

 

I got gunmetal. 15s for around 550 bucks new.They were on sale.Sorry the sale is over. Most place have them for around 700 to 800.

 

 

If you are looking for a nice looking 17 inch wheel I suggest looking through the Volk Racing wheels catalog. It can be found at http://www.rayswheels.com . Pretty much all of the Volk rims are lightweight, so choose the one that looks the best in your eyes. Usually for a 17inch rim they weigh in at 17lbs are lighter. I am currently having a sale on Volk Racing rims, 15% off list price. Email me for pricing and available tire packages.

Also the first photo from cre18 is called Gram Light 57pro. It is a two piece wheel with a polished lip. The rim is only available in 17 and 18 inch configurations. The gram lights are made by Rays Engineering, they also make rims for Volk Racing, STi, Nismo, and many other japanese rim companies. I also have these rims on sale for 18% off list price.
