Default hahaha..>>

those are about the heaviest wheels around right there....depends what you want...most rims that are 2-pc and 3-pc with lip are heavy. Those one piece rims with fake lip are alot lighter. Mostly by about 5-10 lbs.

Default In general one piece, forged wheels are the lightest...

I've personally been thinking about trying out a set of 17x8.5 or 17x9 all around but these sizes are a little harder to find (especially the 17x9).

Default BBS RC is nice and light, so are SSR wheels.

If you are planning on big brake kits (Brembo or StopTech), then take this into consideration when selecting wheels. You want to avoid needing spacers if possible.
