No kidding.... Hey...thanks again for those photos you sent me w/ your rims. Haven't pulled the trigger on them yet, but will shortly, so I can put them on this spring. BTW...do you actually live in LABIA land?.....or do you just make visits there frequently?

well, if you're for performance, J8's aren't super lightweight. they're cast welded wheels. not exactly a true 2 piece wheel. 8.5/10.5 or 9.5/10.5 is fine. if you plan to get a kit, i'd go 9.5 in the front to even it out. as far as wheels go, look into some forged wheels. 1pc. forged wheels are the lightest. Volk TE37's, LE37's, CE28's, Mag Progressive Spoke's are good choices. Advan wheels which are not forged, but super light/strong like a forged wheel are another good choice. just super pricey . Work wheels are super bada.ss. USDM forged companies like iForged, DPE, JLine, and HRE are other good choices as well. did you want something with lip, or no lip?????? also, search for pics of G's with 19's/18's.

G-Games makes a new wheel called the Baracuda. They're forged and from what I hear, pretty light weight. I cant recall hard numbers though, sorry . SSR Comp-H rims are supposedly lighter than the Volk TE37s too.

the G-Games baracuda are cast. it's Ray's new cast process, Rays cast forming.
the SSR's are softer than the Volk's though (there was major controversy about it).

Check out the color specific threads in the wheels section. They havent gotten as many posts lately, but there are still plenty of options on there. A lot of the older pics are still messed up, but the newer ones work.

black
white
red

cant find the others, anyone know where they went? MODS- can we make these stickies like they used to be?
