Re: what do you all think of these
Can you crop out one of the wheels from the original w/o resizing it to make a small file?

Re: what do you all think of these
Sorry Carlos,
Everything looks like garbage right now compared to "Damen's" ride on 20s. These are going too look too small and boring if you plan on going with 19s. Only thing that's gonna top Damen's car is if somebody is willing to shell out 5-6K on some Lowenharts (BR5 or LD5). Damen's rim is basically a knockoff of the Lowenhart BR5.

Re: what do you all think of these

Re: what do you all think of these
Which rim size is only 18 pounds? (And how wide is it, too?)
I don't agree that 20's look better. It's an aesthetic thing, and I don't like them. I'm not even really looking to move to 18's. I've actually looked around at the possibility of getting ~15lb 17x7's to keep the stock rim size but shed some pounds. It's more dough than I'm ready to spend at the moment, though. Gotta improve my racing skills before it becomes necessary. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Those look nice.

Re: what do you all think of these
well i know the TE37s nimo wheels are 8.6kg or 18.92 at 18x9.5 (http://164.46.112.185/Pic/pic046/014-005.htm)
and then the fronts are 18x8.5 at 8.2 kg or 18.04lbs.
The nimo wheels are TE37s and from what i understand the ones i posted are also but i guess the nismos are a 5 spoke pateren while the other ones are 6 maybe that because the other ones are 19s.
Where the ones you were looking at magnesseum

Re: what do you all think of these
No, just forged wheels from various manufacturers.. found them in the 13-17lb range for 17's.
The lightest I came across was 13.0, something called "Joustmeister" -- but in all my searching, I'm unable to find a manufacturer's website, a price, or a picture. The next best was Centerline RPM at 13.5, but I don't quite like the way they look, and I can't find weight info on other similar rims by Centerline.
