What's the best bang for the buck rim in a 16x7 size on the lighter side?

What's the best bang for the buck rim in a 16x7 size on the lighter side? I could care less how they look or the brand, but I would like it to weigh in under 15lbs. and for them to be able to handle some abuse.

Rota Slipstreams would be your best bet considering your price range... I think you can pick up four wheels 16x7 and weigh about 12.5-13.5 lbs w/o tire for $500 shipped... Maybe less, depends on where you find em...

RX7 FD wheels aren't bad. I think Cosworth or Black R has a set for sale (forget which)

Black R has them for sale, but I think they are 16x8.

Anyhoo... I'd say slipstreams or RX-7.

The rota slipstreams in 16x7 weigh 14lbs., What do the Kosei K1's weigh in a 16x7 rim size?

i think they have them on special for 5 lug...
and it says they're 13.5 lbs...
i have seen the gunmetal color in real life and it is kick *** imo...
it's more like a dark gunmetal/bronze color. real dark...
it was on a black gsr...looked good...

Re: What's the best bang for the buck rim in a 16x7 size on the lighter side? (EVOL)

What are the offset 'limits' you want to stay within btw. +35-45? Would 45 make the wheel go in too much? Happened to stumble on a set of evo's with a +45 offset for 2200 shipped. Did I mention they were 17s..

IF you are looking at forged I'd say the SSR competitions.....11-11.5lbs for a 16x7.

I would think you would be ok with +42 to +45 offset... I one time went 17x7 w/ +40 offset and it rubbed the out fender, but then again I may have been too slammed... if that helps any.
