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

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

    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.

    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
