Really lightweight, not too expensive wheel.

[Thalomos]

Hey all i'm looking to get some "rims" or "wheels" for my car, and i would like to get the lightest and most decent one's i can find... and not break the old pocket book...

Does anyone know of a site where i can look at the weight of wheels and all?

THx a bunch.

I'm also looking to buy a good FMIC that i will not have to chop at the bumper to put on... any help would be appreciated.

I think Rota is the bang for the buck king or dollar to wheel weight. I got my 17x7.5 rims shipped for under $550. Try here

Good and no hacking are pretty much mutually exclusive. Any core worth having is going to require some trimming. Even a 221 core which is pretty small will require some time with a saw. My advice is save your pennies and get a Spearco 216 core when the time comes.

Well i'm looking to do both, but only have the money for one at the moment... leaning towards FMIC for performance, but these weird Borbet rims are chipped up and prolly weigh a ton...

BTW the rims on your car look like nothing on the site? Not trying to steal your rims, just thats a damn good price for 17's..

I think those are 18in Konig something or others. The previous owner had them on his car. I swapped them out for a set of Rota Subzeros in gunmetal.

Wheel Weights
It's not that up-to-date, but it's better than nothing.

BTW, this should go in Suspension Tuning.
