lightweight wheels

What very light 15-INCH, yet strong (i.e, drag racing, and I drive the thing pretty hard) wheels could I put on my 95 5-speed?

Keep in mind that I have a ****ty, low paying job

'95-'96 Mazda Millenia wheels. The 9-spoke design are 11 or 11.5 lbs. I use these with my drag radials at the track. It's a 15x6 rim.

Yeah, problem is, I want 6 wheels (4 for street tires and 2 for slicks) identical, but I don't think 22X15X8 M/T Slicks will fit on 6" wide rims.

Well... this guy apparently got his own 22X15X8 to fit on 6.5" wide rims... 6" may not be too far off after all. What do you guys think?

You won't get those slicks on millenia rims. And getting six is not a problem, well not anymore than getting six of any other rims. But your not going to want to run millenia rims everyday. They look real goofy on the car and the offset is terrible.

The rims sit way inset into the feder. They make stock rims look flush. I am not huge into appearance mods but I couldn't sport those on a daily basis. And the rears have to be modified to fit as well.

Look at www.TireRack.com They usually have a few lightweight 15" wheel options. YOu can't beat the price on Kosei 15" K1's
