help me find lightweight forged wheels

[tonkabui]

i know rishie is the main man to go to, but he's uber busy, so i decided to come here and ask to see if anyone knows...

anyway, here's my goal:

16x7/7.5, 17x7.5 or 18x7.5 FORGED wheels that weigh no more than 15 pounds. what are my options and where can i buy them? if you have links to pics, that'll be great. price is not an issue.

truc check out the 16" volk te37 or ce28n. they each should come in around the weight you're looking for. www.upracing.com down in tucson is a volk distributor, at least the one up in tempe is. here's a link to ray's http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/indexe.html

Motegi just relaeased some, Koenig has some, Rota, etc....

 

[tonkabui]

although lightweight, they're cast wheels. i'm looking for forged. SSR, Volk, BBS, and Forged are all that i can find so far.

get some racing hart cp-035's 16 x 7.5 - 11.2 lbs

15 x 7 are 9.4 lbs

Shoot me a pm with your price range, and style you would like, and we'll work on something.

We cant get all of the wheels on that site.

We carry another wheel thats exclusive to us too, the Meister S1

if money isn't an option and you want full custom...

http://www.kinesismotorsport.com (they're 3pc. so you can always change the centers if you want to change up the look)

either that or look into the japanese brands (advan, work, volk, SSR). i personally like them in that order.

Check out: www.5zigenusa.com/wheels.html

FNO1R (not FNO1R-C) forged wheels.
16 x 7", +42 mm, 5.3 kg (11.68 lbs)
17 x 7.5, +45 mm, 6.4 kg (14.11 lbs)

They are available for both 4 or 5 lug wheels.

tonk i think those work S2R wheels would look pimp on your ride, if money really isnt an object check out HRE wheels, they are gorgeous and forged....

otherwise yah I would go with VOLK, WORK or ADVAN .....mmmm advan

 

[protegeV]

yeah, HREs are just ridiculous. It cost as much for one HRE as it does for a set of four racing harts with tires(shocked)

 

[p5sundevil]

btw may i ask why only forged? i mean i know the benefits of going forged but it narrows your choices pretty big.....altho i guess if I had the choice I would do the same.

 

[protegeV]

I know...it IS possible to find cast 16s and maybe 17s under 15lbs.

 

[speedhawaii]

i believe so

good luck on the wheels....btw, want to sell me you old wheels?

 

[tonkabui]

oh, these wheels aren't for me. it's for daveB. it looks like the racing hart CP-035's in the 17x7.5 size is the way to go. can't beat forged, 17", and 13 pounds. throw on some toyo's and we have ourselves a speedvision car! hahahaha. plus they look damn sweet.

 

[p5sundevil]

nice choice, good luck to dave, goona be lookin even more pimp than usual.
