Light weight wheels that look good?

^RPF1s have horrible caliper clearance characteristics. You will need to run a spacer if you want to run RPF1s the D-Force wheel will bolt right up, nothing else needed.

I guess that would depend on the car and the offset of the wheel.
I have ran them in every Honda I've owned without ever needing spacers.

True. However RPF1s do not clear the brembos without spacers from my research. The set I had on my STI didn't clear the brembo calipers on that without spacers either. Once you get a car with decent brake calipers on it the spoke design of the RPF1 doesnt provide much clearance in the desirable widths and offsets.

Yup, 5x114 FTMFW


Those are not bad, but Enkei RPF1s cost about the same, weigh the same, and IMO look better.

The Vorshlag's also look cool with the new Black Vorshlag caps. I have the mat black rims 18x10 with 275/40/18's all around. Have not mounted them yet waiting to burn up every last mm of tread on the P0's first

Factory Brembo wheels are about 28lbs / wheel. these are just under 20lbs. Forgestars are heavier for the same size. BBS wheels used in the continental challenge are 1lb lighter i think.. same exact 18x10 size. but $700 / each. These were only $310 each i think.

i looked all over for the lightest wheel that looked cool.. these are what i came up with.

Here is a set mounted on a boss that is not lowered at all. these are the 275/35/18's .. a bit to short for a street car IMO, thats why i got 40's..

my sve drifts with 275 nittos came in at alittle over 4 lbs per rim lighter than my factory 19s with 245's. Not much of a weight savings but it shocked me as i was expecting them to be heavier. im happy with a 16 lb total weight savings for a wider rim and tire combo.

TSW Nurburgring's are pretty light. Mine are 19x9.5" 23lbs and 20x10" 24lbs. As far as price vs weight, I think they are the best considering they are rotary forged and around $300 each.

I second the TSW Nurburings. I went with 18x9 (f) and 18x9.5 (r). They're around 21 and 22 lbs each. Cost right at $275/wheel delivered. They weigh less than the similarly styled RTR wheels and have better fitment at the rear.

Those wheels and tires look great. What size tires are you running?
