Default Where to buy 14" rims under 12Lbs.

I found a company that sold some 8lbers but i would be too scared if i hit a pothole my rim would fold.

Im just looking for a basic 5 spoke in black or silver, 4x100.

14" for preformance purposes. Im thinking about matting them to some BF Drag Radials.

I'm using OE 14" Miata wheels and they're in the weight range you're looking for. You have to machine the center ring slightly and they're only 5.5" wide. You can usually find a decent set on Ebay for $75-125 per 4. I've bought 8 rims this way.

how much do the 15x7 weigh? that much more? and im assuming that the traction would make up for the little extra weight? any thoughts on this? sorry to jack the thread.

Your not really jacking my tread at all.

If a 15" rim would improve 0-60 and 1/4 times over a 14" rim of the same weight i would like to hear about it.

Im running aprox 175-185HP at the flywheel.

15 inch wheels wont give you better traction the traction is in the width of the tire but the smaller the wheel the less the flywheel has to do to turn that wheel.
Rota slipstreams would be my personnal choice.
