Default rota torque weight

I've been looking for the weight of 15x6.5 rota torques, but all I could find is the weight for the 17". Does anyone know how much 15's weigh? Are they close to slipstreams??

Alright, thanks. I was hoping they'd weigh close to the same. Im after something cheap & light, and I like the torques more than the slipstream. What do you think would look better?

The ones on there now? I'm not even sure. They're 15" paradymes w/falken ziex. I like how they look, but they're rediculously heavy.

Well, you could afford some nice Falken Hanabi's, which are super light. And, they're not knock-off's, which is always a plus.

Heck, those Z3 Fenders, eBay special corner lights, and Altezza tails could bring enough money in to buy at least 2 - 3 Hanabi's.

That's an old pic. The tail lights were replaced with jdm ones and the corners are back to oem. The Z3 fenders were cheaper than oem, & they grew on me

Thanks for the replies so far. I'll check out some of those rims you guys listed.

Anyone heard of the Konig Kaitens? Aparently they were just released & are a replica of the work CR Kai. I can't find a picture of them anywhere.

Well I'm after a decent looking light weight wheel that's somewhat cheap. I didn't even know what the CR Kais looked like. I saw the rota torques on jlbmotorsports.com & liked them a lot, so I emailed them about the weight. They replied back saying they weren't sure on the weight. Then they said they have a brand new wheel from Konig called the Kaiten that was a replica of the CR Kais, which look like the torques.

Aparently they'll have the Kaitens up on their site sometime this week, so I'll probably wait to see how they look. They're only $380 shipped which is right up my alley. If you wouldn't mind putting that pic up that'd be great. Thanks

I've always had a thing for hanabi's. Might just have to pick up a set in the future

The knock-off issue is a plus too. There won't be any whiny little bitches in apc bitching about them

Well, turns out i'll be buying a knock off of a knock off
jlb sent me a pic of the konig kaitens & I love them. $380 shipped, which is the same price as the heliums. These look better than heliums in my opinion. I'm going to ask them how much they weigh before I order, but I can't see them weighing much more than the heliums.
I've posted a pic up just in case anyone who hasn't seen these yet is interested.
