Lightest Rims

What are the lightest wheels that i will be able to put on a 98-99 Max? I heard about Mazda Millenia rims(11.5lbs i think), but how much will a set of 4 cost me, and how ugly will they be? I wont have much money, so the cheaper, the better.

It'll be hard to find quality aftermarket light weight rims that are inexpensive. Well I guess it depends on what you think "cheap" is. The Millenia wheels actually look decent imo.

Kosei K1's are lightweight and relatively inexpensive.....I'm sure there are others, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

If you're looking for the lightest wheels period, you need to stick with 15" wheels. I think some of the Racing Hart CP8s (or something like that) are less than 8lbs/wheel and not that expensive (<$1200).

i will have $500-600. As i think about it, i dont care about their looks or size at all as long as they're not the steelies. So basically stock rims from another car will do just fine, as long as theyre very light.

15" SSR Comps are probably the lightest you will find. Any rim smaller than 15" will Not clear the brake calipers.
