What are the lightest wheels out there? I'm going with 16's, 15's if they really kick ass. Anyone got pics of some real world rims that are feather lite? I say real world cuz there is no magnezium/carbon fiber $11,000 each rim budget for me :biggrin:
Thanks

RS-Watanabe Cyclones - forged magnesium, under 9lbs each in 15x7 +35 :thumbsup:
I believe these are the only 4-lug set in the country. These wheels where only made for 6 months and then discontinued. Very few in existence.
They can be yours for $1400 with new 205/50/15 Toyo RA1's :wink:
Or the TE37 15x5.5 only 7.9lbs :)

Aspec actually have a set of CE28's in 15x7 in stock (gold) and I weighed them on the postal scale, they came out to 9.6lbs. each. The TE's in same size would be a little bit heavier according to Rays. 5.5" width is a little small for me :wink:

I you guys only knew how much these sold for when they where new :wink: The wheels used to retail for over $800 EACH! and the RA1 tires aren't cheap either ($160 each). Total retail would have been over $3800 :eek:
BTW, brand new authentic center caps are included :)

I've heard good things about Motegi Traklites, and have been looking into getting a set for myself. They may not be the lightest or the cheapest, but they're strong and have a nice balance of the three.

If you're going for sheer weight, you can't go wrong with the TE-37, IMHO (assuming price isn't an issue).
Personally, I think I may go with 15" Kosei K1s when I get my Yaris.
