Hey guys,

What is the lightest wheel you could ever get?

And, is it possiable to get a VIP style rims and manage to get a light one as well??? is there such a thing out there?

Also, how much goes the oem G-spider wheels weight??

Finally, when you say light wheels, what is the range of the weight , i mean between what to what is considered light??

 

G's are about 28lbs IIRC. VIP and lightweight are, for the most part, mutually exclusive.

Lightweight 18's should be in the 18 to 24 lb range, where 18 is very light.

Lightweight 19's should be in the 20 to 26 lb range.

The type of metal, process used to build (forge, cast), weight diameter, width and design all affect weight.

What size wheels are you looking for?

Stock 18's are 18x8 Front (and awd), 18x8.5 Rear.

disclaimer: this is all my opinion, obviously there are lighter wheels than I mentioned, and many people will disagree on what is considered 'light'

 

I am looking for 20x10 , 20x8.5 or 19x10 and 19x8.5
Iam trying to have a VIP look but at the same time have a light wheels to keep the ride fast and not heavy as much as possiable

 

really? with all that stereo equipment inside? thing is vip rims ARE heavy the trade off is, i've hit some potholes at speed and have ZERO damage to my rims

 

You should be able to get 20's in the same ballpark as the stock weight. You will have a much harder time getting lighter than that, especially if you go VIP.

 

Yeah, I just noticed all the stuff in his sig that's he's done and is planning to do.

OP, you gotta honestly ask yourself if you care about weight that much. Given the stuff you're carrying around with you and the stuff you want to lug.....a few pounds on each wheel is a drop in the bucket.

Sorry dude, I think you've chosen a path which leads you to the darkside.

 

my wheels are about 22lbs in the front and 24-25lbs in the back

they are 19X8.5 and 19X10

 

I duno about you, but my set of wheels that i spend over 5000$ on them have already some damage dur to the potholes , cuz my ride is as you clearly see is already heavy. So by getting a lighter wheels i well be getting a faster car (abit) a potholes proof and a good looking wheels

 

I see what you mean, but saving some ibs is not a bad idea

 

Do you recommand any>>>?

 

Hey I just noticed that you also have NOS on your car. Where have I been??

 

well... theres always Dymag's... HERE not VIP but very light weight.

 

I've read here that the G-Spiders are just under 2 lbs MORE than stock wheels.

 

iForged, PIAA, BBS, HRE...?

Not many people make big light wheels, but these are all high quality, high $$$

 

20" forged Wald PORTFINO weigh about 25lbs, but cost about 5K...
Big lightweight wheels are expensive.
