looking for lightweight wheels. I'm tired of finding only heavy wheels. our cars are supposed to be lightweight little hatches. so i was wondering if anyone had suggestions on really good lightweight wheels? no cheap wheels either, i would probably break them the day after i got em

Enkei RPF-1's 16 lbs for a 17x8 +45. I think the Volks are just slightly heavier.
Here's the wheel weight chart PDF Wheel Weight PDF (http://www.k-series.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14920)

who said our hatches are supposed to be light weight? 3200 lb pig is what it is.

lightweight wheels: enkeis, rota slipstreams, motegi trak lites etc.

what's your budget look like?

Most Gram Lights in 17" weigh about 17.5lbs. You could get them in a 16 or 15 and cut a few pounds.


Here's some lightish wheels I found browsing.

1. Enkei JS-M 17" = 15lbs
2. Enkei RPF-1 17" = 15lbs
3. Enkei RS-M 17" = 15lbs
4. SSR Type C 16" = 12lbs
5. Motegi Traklites 17" = 14lbs
6. Motegi Traklites 16" = 12.5lbs
