Ok, I know I posted a message on Friday about the 16" wheels... what about 15"'s? Is it safe to say that the same manufacturers you guys listed in the previous post will be about the same as far as who's lighter or are some company's wheels just lighter than others when you step down an inch? I'm looking for lightweight 15"'s, but hoping for something a little cheaper than Mugen (and maybe lighter?). Thanks,

Best bang-for-the-buck lightweight rim manufacturer: SSR (Speed Star Racing) High quality Japanese wheel that cost about 2/3 of the "JDM" rims. It's not that cheap, but it's also not that expensive for a quality wheel.

 

If you want lightweight in a 15" go w/ the CP035's (forged) about 8lbs.... or spoon sw388...

pretty much the same choices in 16's that you had...I was in the same market and I wound up w/ 16" spoon...

 

hino aguzze 350-400 a set of 5x114.3 and 15" nice colors and around11-12 pounds.. look on GBC or contact walee

 

Here is a blow up pic of my avatar:



it's a 15" x 6.5" TE37. I'm very happy with these wheels.

 

You should definitely consider Spoon or Regamaster.

 

i'd second that! haven't felt anything lighter yet.

 

I will third that..Spoon all the way

 

Spoon

 

is this for an itr (5 lug) application?? i just posted some 15" 4x100 white evo's wid tires for 1600 in the classifieds. they only have 1500 miles on the both of them so there in perfect shape.

 

ROTFLMAO!!!

 

hahaha, oh did i mention i 4th that

 

SSR Type C

 

SPOOOOON for sure!!!

 

TE-37s

 

IMO the SW388 looks too much like steelies..... It looks much better with the Spoon decals on, just to get rid of that "steelie look".

 

well it seems like alot of you like the spoons, they weight in around 11.46lbs. As for the Racing Hart CP035's, they are around 7.9lbs! That's pretty f$#*ing light. Anyone know what kinda pricing the CP035's go for?

 

Ahhh.....didn't he ask for inexspensive wheels.

How about Kosei K1 racing from the Rack.......~$115 a piece. They are about 12 pounds.
You can have them painted however you like by Bob Ross with the money you save.

Or you can by one of those other rims for the price of four K1s. I guess it just depends on your budget and preference. But if you are looking for bang for the $$ then there isn't any question (aside from my $50 millenia rims spray painted black)
