If it is steel, it probably won't be lightweight.

If it is aluminum, it is not going to look like a steelie.

Pick one or the other.

You could try Diamond Racing wheels, but they won't be much (if any) lighter than an OEM streel wheel.

Uber-lightweight wheels are overrated as far as I'm concerned anyway.

 

Bridgestone Super RAP

 

^^ those wheels are so oldschool

 

The diamond racing wheels have to be lighter. I think I looked at thirteens and they were like 9 or 10 lbs compared to a 18lb steelies.

 

Interesting wheel. Mostly crappy sizes though; the only thing appealing to me is the 14x6. 15x6 is okay too, I suppose, but wider would be better.

Wonder what the prices and weight are like?

 

vx wheels at 9lbs each, you can't go wrong

Too bad they're 13x5s, don't fit over 10.3" brakes, and look absolutely nothing like a steel wheel.

I'd get a weld racing or centerline wheel and paint it flat black.

Do you think stock hubcaps would fit on them?

the better question is whether the welds will hold up to street driving- potholes.

 

pretty damn dumb to buy lightweight rims at a stock size and then just put hubcaps on top of them. just stick with the steelies and get them widened in the front. what? do you think that the extra 9 pounds a rim is actually going to affect your performance more than other things you could spend your money on? no, it's wasted money. invest in your engine or suspension if you're building a sleeper.

There are some old school Mugen wheels that look kind of like steelies.

cough:dumbass:cough

 

i think hubbies helps to add to the sleeper effect

 

get some nr10r's and pimp the **** outta them
but seriously, diamond wheels are ugly as ****, and not very light.

get whatever you want and put some hubcaps over em. i'm sure hubs would fit over some slipstreams....

AND THEN STREETWERKS QUOTED HIM!!! Some people that talk too much have way too much to learn.

 

i'm glad you go around reading my posts....
means i'm important.

rereading it, i don't agree with WIDENING a STOCK rim.

 

I think steelie is stealth enough. I mean, who pays attention to steelies? :D
