Anyone Know Any Good/cheap Lightweight Rims?

[winstor]

Depends on how much you are willing to spend. Probably best to run a square setup rather than staggered.

TSW Nurburgring - 17x8 +35 (~8.7kg)

TSW Interlagos - 17x8 +32 (~8.1kg)

Enkei RSM9 - 17x9.5 (~8.4kg)

Enkei RPF1 - 17x9 +22 (~7.4kg) or 17x9.5 +18 (~7.6kg)

Enkei RP03 - 17x8.5 +30 (~8.7kg), 17x9.5 +38 (~8.9kg)

5zigen FN01R-C - 17x9 +15 (~8.1kg)

My pick would be the Enkei RPF1s.

Personally I would take the LMGT4s, should clear 6 pot Brembos up front as well even with a 355mm disc.

LM GT4s FTW

There is a cheap set of ‎ 18X8.5 GTC01 ENKEI for sale of the Falcon XR6 Turbo FB page...

these r light

[winstor]

^ They are actually relatively heavy than other 18" options out there, weighing in at 9.9kg/10.0kg for both offsets on offer.

The Enkei RPF01 in the same size (18x8.5 +30) weighs in at only 8.6kg, quite a significant difference for wheels that cost the same.

For brand new wheels the Enkei RPF01 is one of, if not the most, affordable light weight wheel around.

Anyway found another set.

Buddy Club P1 - 17x8/9 +35 (~8.2-8.5kg) with Racing Slicks - $1490

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/P1-Racing-wheels-17x8-9-5x114-Nissan-Silvia-S15-180SX-SKYLINE-Racing-Slicks-/320886337618?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ab650f052

The 17" LMGT4s will be real light, the 18x8.5 +30, 18x9.5 +38 are 7.8kg and 8.2kg respectively.

Cheers for all the help guys. Seems like you know your sh*t when it comes to rims Winstor.

I went to do some work on my brakes on anzac day and discovered that someone f*cked up one of the rims when I got the last set of tyres fitted. I took my car back to the tyre place yesterday and the owner was very good about it all. I told him the situation and we worked out a deal for a new set of rims. This is what I'm getting fitted this arvo.

Versus Zenkai 17 x 8 on the front with the 235/45 tyres off the old rims

Versus Zenkai 17 x 9 on the rear with existing 245/45 tyres

All up the rims, fitment and balancing, minus their stuff up will cost me $900. I'm pretty happy with that. What do you'se think?

[Panda Eyes]

nice

[winstor]

Should ask them for 17x9 +25 all around. Not a bad wheel, weigh roughly 9-10kg depending on offsets and widths.

Personally I would have waited to see if I could have got those 17" LMGT4s off ebay that I linked. Sub 8kg rims ftw!
