What rims are nice and light for there size? The centerline RPM's are light and I looked at the Konig Tantrums but they didn't have a weight listed. Every pound counts.

SSR, Volks

 

weights for a ton of wheels...dont remember how/where I got it but I have it...what size rim R U looking for?

Or, send me an email, I will attach the Excel file & return to u...

 

I plan on getting the 19" Centerline RPM in black pearl finish.

 

ah...those are good choice...know any where got good price on them...

 

If you want some lighter rims, you can pick up some lightweight 5zigen rims, I held the 17" rims and they were light as hell, they are about 15lbs-16lbs or so, I think they come in 18s aswell. The 18" rims are about 17lbs, not sure how they compare to others, but thats pretty light. http://www.5zigenusa.com/wheels.html

 

information for Centerlines...sorry...

 

are on my spread sheet and a couple of 18" sizes weigh as follows:

Konig Tantrum Cast 18x7.5 23.2
Konig Tantrum Cast 18x8 24.9

Hey Galo,

How much does the Mille Miglia evo 18x8 wiegh? They are heavy when i lifted it to mount it on the car...

 

volks are lightweight and they look good... but its gonna cost ya

 

hey do you happen to know jae-ho and james kim?
i think i played ball with you before

 

i have the black pearl centerline rpm's on my 2k black max. they are amazing. but be prepared they took 5 weeks to come in. but this could have just been my luck.

 

Get some SSR's.. There light and a lil cheaper then volks.. SSR Integrals GT3's look HOT!

 

I have SSR GT1's 18x8 and they weigh 17.5 lbs each.

 

LOL I have the SSR GT1's 17X8

 

How do you like them and what size did you get? Do you have any pics of them? Also, if its not too much to ask, how much you paid for them and where?? Thanks!

 

are heavy mothers...direct from my spread sheet:

Mille Miglia Evo Cast 18x8 27

The centerline RPM's don't come in 8" do they? You think getting that extra inch is worth a different rim? I really like them alot and they are light but not as wide as I would like.
-svence

 

Based on the research I did when I was looking for wheels (about 8 months ago) you can get lightweight 18x8 wheels if you have the money. Also, there aren't a lot of lightweight, low cost 18" diameter wheels that are 8" width. However, if you have the money to spend then there's a lot to choose from.

BTW, my definition of lightweight 18's means less than 19 lbs. If you are willing to go 7.5" width then you'll have a plethora of light wheels to choose from that are reasonably priced.

Anyway, from my research, apart from the very expensive ones $400+ per wheel (SSR comps, Racing Harts, Volks, etc.) here are the only other lightweight (<19 lbs) 18 x 8 ones I found below $400 per wheel.

1) Enkei RPM2 $250+ per wheel 18.5 lbs
2) O.Z. superleggeras (what I have)$330+ per wheel 18.3 lbs
3) SSR GT1 $399+ per wheel 19 lbs

 

So do you think the extra inch or half inch is worth the money, will the handling be noticeably different?
-svence

 

I think it weighed a little over 50!!! But, i'm really not going for speed, more of looks and better handling, so that is my trade-off.

 

U from atl too.. which james kim? GT james kim or Bethany James Kim?

 

Hey, my friend just had those 17x7 5zigen F01r-c (something like that ) rims put on with Kuhmo 711 225/45r 17 put on today from Discount Tires for about $1150 for everything.. and damn, these rims look nice and they are light. they are about 15lbs each. Very nice ride and everything, all he needs now is to lower his car and everything is set. If you want some light rims and that wont cost you a fortune, goto a Discount Tires store and they will most likely drop it down to about the same price my friend got his at. The rims are usually $200 each.

 

I like the look of that rim a lot...especially in the hyper black. Will that fit on a 2k2?? If so, SOLD

 

This is what I went with.

Kosei Penta RT 17x7.5, 16lbs in Pearl Black

http://www.faswheels.com/products/wheels/rt_penta.htm

 

Im sure it would fit fine on a 2k2... The rims are sooo nice, Id reccomend getting these, they look great. you should get the 18" version, it'd look very nice on your car.

 

Dude I'd love to get a look at that.
Thanks!

 

Here's a decent wheel weight sight.

oops missed it

 

Here's another one

http://www.******************/wheelweight.html

 

 

Alright, I give up.

 

what do you guys think about these im thinking about getting a set i have a 2002 black SE how do you think it would look?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2417714873

 

Konig's are never light. Those Centerline's are only 15.6 lbs. Impressive.

 

Check out my Volk Racing GT-7's in 18's........

 

Food for thought:

Take 2 wheels that weigh the same. One is a 17 inch wheel the other 18. Because the 18 inch wheel has more mass it will still require more energy to rotate.

 

i found the centerline rpms for sale on ebay if anyone is interested...here is the link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2418135378

 

Correct, a larger diameter of weight requires more power to rotate.

Here is the kicker.

Would a 18" wheel that weighs 25lbs with a 25lb tire outside diameter of 25.9".......

and a 17" wheel that weighs 25lbs with a 25lb tire with a outside diameter of 25.9" be any harder to rotate?

Food for thought!
