Light weight Rims

[S Garbett]

Where is the best place to buy light weight rims from?

Does anyone know of any light weight rims?

 

[kiza1986]

Pro race 1.2's are nice and lightweight i believe...also the o.z super T's but im not sure

Kiza

oz superleggeras are about the lightest wheel you will get for ya money

but i think theyve stopped making them and brought out a nasty looking ultraleggera or something.

 

[S Garbett]

cheers dude

 

[Guy]

try looking at some magnesium wheels but be prepared to pay!

 

[wide]

you can still buy superleggera's try http://www.oz-racing.co.uk/index.php?content=home

Good old superleggeras way to go in my opinion

Superturismo's are nice wheels but they are'nt light weight and the magnesium wheels are expensive, there arent too many light weight rims out there but there are enough to choose from

wow, i got lightweight ones ? well they were lighter than my 13" steelies lol.

i just liked them in the shop

you can still get superleg's from motorsport wheels,my mate works there he's got a set of the new ultraleg's in anthracite,magnesium wheels arnt designed for constant road use as they are strong but brittle thats why the racing teams scrap there wheels after a season

K-Tec Racing sell some light weight wheel sets they claim a set of 17" wheels is 24 Kg lighter then standard 182 16" wheels

Why would you want lightweight 17s seems backwards to me..unless you've got a touring car...

 

[lawrence]

pro race range from team dynamics are fairly light, or speedline wheels like 2020s are pretty light too

In their dreams.

K-Tec Racing sell some light weight wheel sets they claim a set of 17" wheels is 24 Kg lighter then standard 182 16" wheels

 

[thedoc]

K-tec lightweight 16" wheels are about 7.5kg
Standard 172 Mk 2 16" wheels are about 10kg
Standard 182 16" wheels are about 11kg
all without tyres

 

[rmccardal]

182 wheels are closer to 9kg

K-tec lightweight 16" wheels are about 7.5kg
Standard 172 Mk 2 16" wheels are about 10kg
Standard 182 16" wheels are about 11kg
all without tyres

I must've dropped my half eaten buttie on the scales then

I'm selling a set of Rota Slipstreams in matt black (16x7 4x100 et45) and they weigh 6.3kg!!

 

[thedoc]

Speedline 2020s

arent those the magnesium ones that cost £350 per rim!?

the 2118 looks the same but is aluminium so a alot cheaper, but obviously not as light.
