rim size is 17" iam not into big flashy rims iam looking for light weight rims nothing over 20lbs... unsprung weight is a bitch on fwd cars.

Ronal Bears are the pimpest wheel ever. The only thing that could make them better would be if you body matched them :lmfao:

What about some OZ SLs? Ive always liked thoose in 17s for a lightweight wheel.

na they have been good and roll a 100x better then the 18"s but now i need some lighter rims. the tsw are like 22lbs each, way to heavy

[Allstar3.8T]

I completely agree, Heavy is important. However, Dont forget alot of wheels find strength in the extra weight. I agree forged wheels accelerate better, are stronger, but are VERY expensive.
Whats your target wheel/tire combo weight?
Heres a few of the ones I had on the Dub to give you an idea of what somethings weigh.
OEM 17" Long Beaches and tires are 52 lbs each.
My 18" BBS RS-Gts (2pc forged) and BFG KDW2s were 42 lbs each,
my TSWs in 20" w/ Nitto 555 were 56 lbs each
my 19" Roja Kruzz and BFG KDW2s were 58 lbs each
my 19" Exel DL-46 w/ Hankooks are 56 lbs each.

Also, BBS, and Centerline both quote rotating mass as 1 lb rotating is equal to 8 dry and stable. Also, 10 lbs dry and stable equals 1 hp. (.8 whp recovered for every 1 lb of reduced wheel weight that is on the drive line.(Not 4 wheels, 2) Drop to a 17 lb wheel, losing 5 lbs each wheel, x 2 wheels = 8hp. Not bad, but alot of $$ for 8 hp....especially if you have heavier than OEM rotors...you may be giving it back up.
I only posted for info, not argument, I support anyone who wants performance at almost any cost...my kinda guy!

yup nice chart the enkeis are 1 of the lightest rims i have fond so far at 17lbs and i have the kdw2's also. which are 3lbs lighter than per rim then the 18" bbs and tires i am sure are about a 1lb lighter also. i hope they roll a lot nicer. :goodjob:

and on a side not i would love to rock some rs's just couldn't drop that much in rims... still need some more speed :D
