Anyone know of someone who makes light rims? Something that weighs 12lbs. or less.

10.6 lbs
15X7
+38 mm offset

if i had the bling for front/rear camber kits to get the right setup given that offset on my car, i'd pimp it... it's pure sex - for a cast wheel

but i'm gonna roll team dynamics pro race 1 for the time being:


13.2 lbs
15x7
+45mm offset

Konig heliums-10lbs
Rota Slips- 10lbs
Kosei K1-10lbs
Konig Colors-10lbs
Motegi Trak Lits-10lbs

Those are just the ones off the top of my head that I sell that are light weight.

 

i was thinking of getting konig's but i've seen some pics and some friends experience bad karma with rotas - but the thing tying both brands is the fact that they're cast rims and sub 13lbs... btw my friends track their cars and drive quite hard on the streets. it sucks given the amount of pot holes we have up there as well.

but given that, if your just street driving and not going to push the car, then konig and rotas are definitely best bang for the buck per weight rims! can't get any more inexpensive for the weight than these babies!

another good example of strong yet proven CAST wheels:

13.5lbs
15x7
+38mm offset

13.0lbs
15x7
+45mm offset

I do know that my listing of the Kosei K1 TS in a contradiction to earlier statment of "light weight + cast wheel = BAD" however, it does seem that Kosei R&D this wheel for racing purposes given a few track cars that I've seen with the wheel and I have yet to hear word of any problems ie. bent, crack, etc. typical of the lightweight rota/konigs. dual valve stem also pimptastic

regardless I chose to pay more for a better state of mind when I do go to the track

oh motegi trak lite = FORGED = very good stuff!!! i believe they are the best bang for buck FORGED wheel at the moment!!!

OMFG *drool* no doubt these are DEFINITELY rims of choice if I HAD THE BLING!

all full forged rims correct? cept for the SSR Competition - semi-sumfin-forged.

my wheel choices above were all CAST of course, but I conclude them to be amongst the best of the best CAST lightweight and proven strength for road racing - plus the $ is not bad!!! :D

had another HT member PM me as well.

they are located in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada.

I ordered mine through them and it's also my first time dealing with them.

not all of the colours and offsets are listed, as a matter of fact, their sales/tech representative said they can do "almost" any custom offset orders! I would assume offset between +45mm and +23mm is possible, but there will be a wait time for custom offsets of course.

click on wheel ranges on the left, then find pro race 1 on the right, you can see all available colours from Team Dynamics

 

My SSR Comps 15x7 are 9.3lbs

I meant my initial posts with the pictures and links for the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1, Kosei K1, and Kosei K1 TS... these are all CAST.

lakerschamp2000 posted all the PIMP forged rims, so credit goes to him for that list

 

there's also the stern aguzze, which is pretty light.

you can get Team Dynamics wheels at america's tire/discount tire. i got my 15x7 pro race 1's for $125/wheel way back when.

that said, i track rotas. i love rotas. . .

 

depends how much you want to spend. If you have the big bucks forged wheels like some Mugens and Volks will be REALLY light.

But if you're on a budget Rota and Konig both make nice lightweight wheels.

 

I have 15x7 Enkei RPF1's...9.9 pounds and very strong!! They are also not that hard on the pocket

John

 

my 15x7 ce28's are about 9lbs.

I second the Enkei RPF-1.

Look Great, Weigh in at 9 lbs (41mm offset is lighter than the 35mm), and are super strong. Cant really go wrong with Enkei.
