Hey guys, just wondering what kind of wheels I should think about purchasing.. I want light wheels that will help with performance but also fit nice in my wheel well. Any suggestions? I have a 2010 white 3 door yarii stock.

Enkei RPF1 or any decent forged wheel. SSR for example.

What size do you want, 15" or 16" or 17"?

This... for lightweight go rpf1, i dont think anything is lighter for under $1000 and they come in 4x100 and decent options for offset so you can even go a little more aggressive width if you want

XXR 002s are around 15-16 lbs without tires rpf1s are under 10 lbs for the same 15x7 size.

not sure how light they are, I know the Spoon wheels that Rota copied are super lightweight racing wheels but they are not super light on the wallet.

Back to the top of the topic. OP, what is your budget for wheels and tires?

Spoon wheels are Regamaster Evo's and made in Russia, they have been known to crack though so a lot of money to spend on wheels which arnt known to like daily driving


Other light wheels are Racing Hart CP-035

You wont get in to the 9lb RPF1 with that budget, unless you can find them used. You could get the 11lb Kosei K1 TS from the Tire Rack, $536 a set.

Konig Feathers are pretty popular around here as well... Not sure if they're $500 or more though.
