Lightest 19" wheel to fit a 6MT

The subject title pretty much sums it up. I'm looking for a light weight wheel (Performance is my primary goal, looks comes in a close second). I know that the Toyo TS1's are a good light weight tire, but is there anything lighter/better?
TIA

You might want to look at the CPF-R from Racing Hart. They are an extremely lightweight 19" wheel and looks awesome in my opinion. They are in the lower 20lbs in weight for 19x9 and 19x10.5. Here is the gallery for some Racing Hart wheels, they are the 5 spoke in Super Black Coating on the Coupe.

Re: Lightest 19" wheel to fit a 6MT

I have to second the cpf-tuned. I weighed them and my stock 18" when switching over. I think everyone's numbers are slightly different because bathroom scales are usually not that accurate. I weighed them several times by themselves and with me holding them and subtracting my weight. On average:

Stocks F and R
47 and 49.5

CPF-Tuned F and R with 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 GSD-3's
42 and 48.

I was able to save 13 lbs. altogether going up in size. You have to pay a premium for them however.

Re: Lightest 19" wheel to fit a 6MT

Mine are probably one of the best performance wheels you can get. My CE28N's are lighter than the TE37 which are 20lbs in 19". Since u cant really get 19" like mine, the companies dont tell you how much they weigh.
I was reading in Sport Compact... wheel reviews. And every time the 2 different Volks were made in the same size... The CE28N's were more than a 1lb & 2 ounces lighter.
The TE37 were reviewed as being 20 and some ounces. So mine are 19.o lbs give or take an ounce.
Good Luck! I hear the wait is over 6 months... and i hear they cost more than $1000 a wheel.

help me post my pics and you can see them. If not u can check out my profile, i was able to load them there.

More help... how do you guys post pics over your signatures? And how do you post pics in your normal post? Does your pic really have to be less than 100kb. my camera wont go that low... i can get under 200kb but not 100kb...

Re: Lightest 19" wheel to fit a 6MT

Hey Brian,

The Racing Hart CPF-Tuned is made specifically for the G35/350Z offset. If I recall correctly, they were around 20-25lbs'ish. I can find out accurate weight hopefully tomorrow when I get back to the shop. They are not available in silver, only in their Hyper Black finished which is a polished/blackish color. Really unique - I loved the wheels and were going to put those on my Coupe before I got word about the 20" GT-C's.

Re: Lightest 19" wheel to fit a 6MT

Anyone know how much heavier the LE28's are compared to the CE's? I believe the le's have a polished lip but how much heavier can it be? thanks

Re: Lightest 19" wheel to fit a 6MT

I vote for SSR Professor SP-1's - 19x8.5 only weighs 21lbs (I think the 19x9.5/10's weight around 23) - pretty damn light and they look killer, esp. in black (the finish I'm probably getting for my BS coupe)... also, I was quoted prices from Gruppe-s as follows:

19x8.5 front = $465
19x9.5 rear = $495

Talk with Brandon - he'll hook you up....

Re: Lightest 19" wheel to fit a 6MT

I thought a lot about the professors. Nice and clean 5 spoke design. They actually look a lot like the racing harts. However, they are not quite as light as the cpf-tuned, which was OK but they also have that double lip. I prefer a single big lip. http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthre...ight=professor

Nice prices though. They are about 1k less than the racing harts.
