anyone know of any good 5 lug pattern lightweight racing rims? i was considering the ssr competition. are they any good? and does anyone know whether the rota circuit 8 comes in a 5 lug pattern?

 

i believe so, what about rota slipstreams 16 in is only like 12lbs i think, my friend has them on his type r and they take a good beating

 

ssr comps

 

how much do they weigh (ssr)? and how much do they run for?

 

supposedly 10-11lbs: not sure on the price though

pros and cons on any of these rims?

 

The SSR comps are good lightweight rims but the outer lip tends to bend easily. I would either get some volks or spoons (desmonds).

 

ROTAS !!!! the slipstreams weight 13.5 in a 16 inch and the subzeros are 14.5 in a 16 and a mear 16.5 in a nice looking 17 inch wheel

to check out these wheels

 

most of the rota lineup is pretty light, but id say go with slipstreams or the sub zeros

 

which rota would you say looks the best on ludes? anyone know of the Battle?

 

battles are kinda heavy, the slipstreams are replicas of the spoon wheels and they look good for a rcae car look. but for style and speed, i would go with 17" subzero's

 

Volk TE37's with polished lip on gunmetal

</TD></TR></TABLE> those look liek the rota subzero

 

for rotas the slips and subzeros are the lightest, see my previous post

 

what about c8's? they seem as if they'd be just as light if not lighter than slips..?

Go with Spoons...16" weight about 11.9 lbs.

 

Oh great Vwong showing off his car again.

HAHAHA

 

The Kosi K1 rims are also light about 13lbs, and are a great bang for the buck rim. I think you can get 4 rims for $700 from tire rack

 

Rota Slipstreams 16's

 

I have 16x7.5 Kosie K1's and they weight in at 14.75 lbs.... great wheel for autocross, and at $139 each I can't complain. If you are looking for a street setup, then a 7" wide wheel is fine... however, if you are looking for a race setup the extra 0.5" is great for better turn-in.

 

My rota's are like the same weight or lighter, if you have the money get the spo0n or mugen wheels. why settle for less if you can have the best...

It's the other way around. Rota Subzero looks like Racing Hart CP-035.
