Ultralight wheels???

[downhil]

anyone know of a wheel manufacturer named ultralight? website or anything? i saw a set in a british mag and would like to get a set.

I've tracked down their site once (its a .co.uk) but I cant find it now.
Here are some for sale:

Funny thing is, their wheels are anything but light. :o

those are different than the ones i saw.... the ones i want look identical to mugen mf10's are are in 4 lug.

Hmmmm... now Im stumped....

How about the ATS Comp-Light:

available in silver, low gloss black, and slate gray

15" x 7"(a good width) and only 12 lbs.

At $99 I almost got them, but I couldnt find enough info to trust their quality.

They are from South Africa, and they dont appear to be TUV or JWL certified???

Here's a giant view of one: http://www.discounttire.com/product/wheels/atscom.s.xl.jpg

and it shows Germany as the country of origin or manufacture, also the offset is 35

nope...closer though.

these puppies are identical to mf10's except they are 4 lug.

they are so choice.....

the mugen MF10L rims come in 4 lug...

[IchBinEinSiR]

How about these in 17" ? I believe they are 12.6lbs...

[FailureToStop]

Blastech,

Where are you getting that weight for the ATS?

[BlasTech]

Porttuning has them at 12 lbs. ( http://www.porttuning.com/Performancestore.htm#INTERNAL%20BLOCK%20PARTS )

wheelweights.net has them listed as 13 lbs. (sorry),

Its really hard to find any info on these things... I wonder what thier load rating looks like...

i dont want the 'L' part. ive only seen those in white. and they're still expensive as hell. i want the look without the price.

I company called ADR Design makes wheels like the Mugen MF8 and MF10's available in the same colors also. MF8's are 4 lug and the MF10's are 5 lug.

I'm looking in the May Issue of SCC on page 43.

Hope that helps.

yeah i saw that as well. the adr model flite 5 is a very close match to the mf10. but it only comes in 5 lug.

i just want a mf10 copy that comes in 4 lug dammit. the magazine it was in was japanese car banzai or sumthing. it had a yellow civic on the cover with some spoon stuff on it.

My car came new off the showroom floor with a set of heavy-assed 5Zigen 18"'s I had them on the car for two weeks as some of you veterans Lol!;) Might recall before I destroyed the right front wheel on a man hole lid that pooped up from heavy rain that day ( cost me $750 1wheel,1tyre,1lower ctrl arm, 1alignment)
At any rate I quickly fixed my car in about two days, lucky me I work in a Body Shop:) But not really ready to be in the wheel & tyre combo market, as it takes me about a year to pick something out .

I ordered a set of stock Honda O.e. 15" accessory wheels, the six spoke design. The styling is neutral, doesn't draw attention, and admit tingly gives the car a more teutonic reveal from odd angles. I wrapped the accessory wheels around
205//55//ZR15 Bridgestone Potenza RE750's I got the wheels at wholesale pricing for about $95.oo ea. but got rapped on the Potenzas, the best news of all is that the box the wheels came wrapped in indicated the weight of the wheel being 16lbs:eek: I instantly noted a difference in performance all across the board, some argue big wide rubber makes our car handle better, I felt the car was clumsy and stumbled all over it's heals with the oversized rubber, the fifteens mad the car feel quicker and identifiably more nimble, despite giving up more under steer.

i think you guys are misunderstanding me. i dont want ultralight wheels (as in weight). im looking for a manufacturer named ultralight forged alloys.
