I'm pretty sure the 15x6.5 (or is it by 6?) CP035 are the lightest.

i was under the impression that the te-37, cpo35 and ssr competitions were the lightest 15 inch wheels you could buy. even if they are not the lightest they are all light and not too expensive. you would be happy with any of the three im sure.

cp035 is the lightest I believe at around 7.xx lbs. a wheel

runner up would be spoon/regamaster at 8.6 lbs per wheel

of course both in 15"

This thread is useless without proper specification for each wheel.

It makes a huge difference if the wheel is 15x6" or 15x7.5". If 15x7" wheel A weighs 1lbs more than 15x6" B, then I would go with wheel A.

Spoon/Evo are 15x6.5"
TE37 are usually 15x7" for ITR application
CP-035 are also varialbe in width and its width determines the overall weight.

if you want to: http://www.wheelweights.net has most of your answers.

What about custom wheels from Panasport or Kodiak?

I'm sure they can whip up a pretty light wheel.

Generally the off set or back spacing will also affect the weight of a wheel. A thicker hub pad to create a smaller off set equals higher weigh for a given wheel.

That's pretty neat. I would like more info on these. Who cares if they are ugly or not for track wheels. Not like it matters though because they are probably waaaay to expensive.
