I have had the hardest time getting wheel weights without e-mailing individual vendors about specific wheels.

I would love to get 19s or 20s but the tire choices are just too few. (I plan on keeping my stock 18s for the snow tires).

I like the deep rims and the mesh patterns, but G35_TX's thread got me thinking that performance is just as important...

The stock 18s weigh 24.51 lbs I have found through searching other threads. So let's start there. Post wheel model and specs (including weight obviously).

Posting a pic would be awesome too if you have it handy.

If you think you've found a 19 inch wheel that is really light and can perform on par with the 18s, then by all means feel free to post.

magnesium te37s from volk will probably be the lightest
but they are also 1k per wheel

Regular Volk TE is 16 pounds for an 18x8.5

I have Enkei RPF1's

18x8.5 18.3 lbs.
18x9.5 18.6 lbs.

They work great at the track, but look like Scion TC stockers.

Kosei Racing Grey K1 TS $250 a wheel from TireRack (friend hookup discounted)

18x8 all around 40mm offset, 16.5lb each Semi-Forged with same process Volk uses.

Grey



Silver



They have Gold and Orange too.

CE28N's are usually very light

Here's some info I got from a vendor:

Racing Hart C4 2pc in silver w/polished lip 18 8.5 in the front and 18 9.5 in the rear shipped to you is $1925.00. These wheels weight 21 lbs Front and 24 lbs R.

And here's another vendor's response for light wheels:


I think the best choice for you would be Motegi TrackLight:
http://www.bigcustomwheels.com/rt_wh...h&brand=Motegi
(this is our site as well)

Their 18s are just 18.5lbs !

We don't have correct size on the website yet,
so please give us a call to order:
1-877-55-TIRES
1-877-558-4737
408-971-3900
(Mon-Fri 9-5 PST)

[NOTE: I could not find 18" Motegi Tracklite wheels, even on the Motegi website - and I wanted 9.5" rim width in the rear - didn't seem to exist]

G35_TX - man I think you got everybody beat. I have yet to come across wheels under 17 lbs - and I was scouring the tirerack site - I thought I looked at each 18 incher! I went to tirerack again and it does not seem to match up these wheels with the OEM G35 specs even. I cannot even get it to show the available rim widths. What's up with that?

I do wish it had a lip or a more unique pattern - it does look good, just OEM-like. I might have to follow your lead, unless someone here posts a surprise...
