Light Weight Wheel Style

[Shane2GSX]

Trying to find what style of light weight wheel will look good on my car. I'm really mixed on this. I like wheels with a lip, wheels that are flush, mesh and five star. Black, black with polished lip, silver, hyperblack, etc. I'm kinda all over the place. Looking for something 18 lbs or less. 17x7 or 17x8.

Check out these, they are all well engineered wheels and decently priced. And they aren't classified as boat anchors. ^

Enkei GTC01 (one of my favorites)
Enkei Racing GTC01 Hyper Black

Enkei RPF1 (always a good safe pick)
Enkei Racing RPF1 Bright Silver Paint

WedsSport SA-90

I like those, but don't like the red strip. Do they come with a strip in any other color?

More importantly, what do they weigh, what do they cost?

Unfortunately, I'm really picky. Haha. The ones I do like, the top Enkei, is too expensive. The others I really don't like very much.

 

[meliketoball]

Enkei RPM2 17.6 lbs 17x8

or

Exel Radius hyperblack, black, or silver
WheelMax

Don't get them with a +45 offset or they'll stick in and look stupid; Upgrade to 8 or more inches as well.

I think those sport maxes are the cheapest but, cheap for a reason.

 

[Shane2GSX]

What do you guys think of these?

DC5 version 2 WHEEL [TENZORACINGSPORTS.COM]

EDIT: 17.5 lbs. Sounds good. Need a photoshop of my car with these and a nice drop..

 

[king_of_HTX]

I like them. I will probably eventually get a set in bronze just for the hell of it after I get my gram lights.

 

[Shane2GSX]

Haha, must be nice. You could just buy me a set for the hell of it..

I have the Enkei NT-03 18x8.5 and they weigh 19.6. 17x8 weigh 18.8 and good price. I also like the Enkei RPM2.

Very nice!

But I'm really digging the DC5's. I want to see a black 2g with them.

NAHHH! The spokes are too skinny. I say go with the OEM EVO rims. Either the 8's or 9's.

The Evo 8's are 17x8 with a +38 mm offset and the 9's are 17x8.5 with the same offset I think.

My Evo 8's are about 25-27 pounds with the tire and filled with 35 psi of air.

Save? They are just wheels, there is no rush. Took me 4 years to finally get my first set of Volk's. It gave me something to dream about every night for 4 years. Saving for a nice part on your car is all part of the excitement!

 

[Shane2GSX]

What do you guys think of Evo MR wheels?

What do those weigh?

 

[SpYYderT]

I like mesh wheels the most on DSM's... i think the thin five spokes look like they're not enough rim there... i would say definitely enkei RPM2 or the Tenzo R's posted (black with red lip) That would look great also.

I have O.Z. Ultraleggeras. They weigh about 17 pounds. They were real cheap and I got them in 17x8 +40mm, which was the exact size I wanted.

Hopefully nobody likes them so my eclipse can be the only one with them

look here for pic

Sorry I don't have a pics of them on my car.

Post up pics, those along with the BBSs are what im considering next!

The BBS LM-R is a nice wheel.

 

[Shane2GSX]

BBS's are nice but too expensive. I'm looking to spend $1k-$1.5k for wheels.
