Light Weight Wheels
I am planning to replace all 4 rims to some light weight ones.
Presently I am running 15 inch alloy wheels (don't know offset) with 195/50 tires. I would like that the new wheels would be 45 or near offset and 8 inch wide. I don't need a brand in particular although these are the requirements: - Similar to picture below. Black with outer red. Different design is accepted - Light weight - Price must not be overhelming - 15 inch size and 8 inch wide with 45 offset - Preferably from UK stores |

look into Wolfrace or Team Dynamics, always see ads for them in UK Magazines, seems like good bang for the buck...

Motegi mr125....almost as light as enkei rpf1's, but half the price...
Only as small as 16" though

you can get RPF1's and add a red stripe.

949 racing 6ul wheels.... I recommend those. You can get 15 x 7-10. 15 x 8 are 12.3 lbs each. I would think 45 offset would be too sunk in? I run 36 along with a 20mm spacer, so essentially I'm running a 16 offset. It sits just inside being flush when I run -2.7 degrees of negative camber.

Either the Enkei RPF1s or the Konig Heliums. Both are awersome!
