Hi all,
Can anyone recommends some light weight 18" rims?
I know rays (volk, work and stuff) but are they any other brands to watch for that are a little more "cost effective" ?

 

gram lights maybe?

 

5zigen FN01R-C's

 

those are pretty nice

 

i wouldn't consider these "cost effective" though

 

^I was going to suggest enkei's too. Here are mine https://g35driver.com/forums/media-share-g35-coupe-v35/206426-my-new-enkei-rpo3-s.html

 

Those are nice! I have an OB too and wasn't sure how they would look, but they look good!

 

You can look into Advans, SSRs, Wedsport, Enkei, G games, they are all very light in 18" and will be lower than volks, maybe not the advans though.

 

+1 on the wedsport and advans. we need to see more of these wheels on our cars

 

SSR's comp line are light and relatively cheap, but some people have had issues with them for daily driving due to the SSF technique and lower amount of material used.

 

Can you expand more on the "issues" i currently have a set of SSR CR-S on my daily driver.

 

i almost went with the wedsport SA-70s but purchased the SSRs instead. the SA-70 does not come in 19", up to 18 only and the SSR did. that was the deal breaker for me, even though i liked the look of the SA-70 better.

 

those are the same rims i wanted and exactly the same reason i didn't get it. so i just waited for a good deal to come up and got me some volks

 

volks are nice and all, but i went a different route because so many people have them. That's also part of the reason why i went with the SSRs. Not many have them, good quality wheel, lightweight and looks good.

 

Speaking of Wedsport, have you guys seen the new dry carbon fiber Wedsport rims?
