Lightweight wheel/tire combo

[njc1064]

As the title says, im looking for a lightweight set of wheels/tires. Im not looking to spend a ton of money, so something good in price would be wonderful.

I am running 2g 16 alloys with 225/50-16 kuhmo ecsta tires. its pretty light and grippy package, as well as being pretty cheap. And with the stock size sidewalls, the speedo stays accurate, the car rides nicely over bumps, and wheel hop is more controlled. I pump them to 40psi during daily driving for good handling and lower them if i go to the track.

People sell EVO 8 rims for $300-$400. They are 17x8 and the 38mm offset allows you to fit 245/40/17 tires

RX7 wheels are very light as well. They're 16 x 8's and weigh in at 16.xx lbs. Plus they look pretty. Perfect for the street and track too being only 16's.

just a reminder if you get RX7 rims they have a 50mm offset, so you need 8-10mm spacers, and longer wheel studs to make them fit properly.

When it comes to lightweight wheels, you have to pay to play in most instances (if you are buying new).
