Lightest 18's

[Cool Cat Racing]

I've done a good bit of searching but still don't know for sure yet. I'm trying to find a set of 18x10 and 18x11 rims for my LS2 240 race car and all I can find are the "baller" rims. Nothing in very lightweight no chrome setups. I can use Volks but I'm trying to find something a little less expensive and easier to replace if one gets trashed. I'm more concerned with function than style so any brands or styles will probably work as long as they're not 3 spokes, I hate them on just about everything.

The Enki F1's are lighter but only go 9.5 wide. 18,5 lbs

The Roja R2-7 is pretty light 24lbs for 18x10 $641 each

the SSR Comp C-RS is 18x9 18.5lbs and you can fit a 275 tire on there $463 each

yeah he wanted cheap wheels that will perform. Not concerned w/ bling look. Enkei's are just that. haha....


Advans > my <3 but arent cheap by any means haha!

get ebay nismo knock offs and drill some holes in it..

and he already spent money to put an ls2 in a 500 dollar car.. i dont think a nice set of race wheels would be too far fetch.

Enkei RPF1 are pretty dam light

I'm not looking for $100 sport max rims. My main issue with expensive rims is that they usually aren't readily available and if one breaks I don't want to have to wait a long time for replacements from japan. Volks aren't outside the budget, just a pain to get sometimes in the sizes I want. The wheels I got for our GTR fit perfectly but aren't a common offset so they take too long to get and I'm impatient. I don't pay retail for them so they really aren't too expensive. I want light wheels because I can manage the power in lower gears, I don't want the extra weight everywhere else. I'm focusing on overall weight and unsprung weight since its not a drift car. I'm trying to keep total weight under 2600lbs and that extra 10lbs a wheel adds up.

CCW's?

RPF1s are light.
readily available.
not so much bling though.
bling is not necessary in track anyways..

max sizing on RPF1 is 18x10.5.. and if you wanted to go 19, there are also those options.
they're quite light.

SBC finish is very blingy

[Cool Cat Racing]

To be honest the color won't matter too much since I'm debating what color I'll paint them. The car is Satin black so I'm thinking a Highliter color or pink. Tyler and I were joking about doing it on his coupe but I think it would actually look pretty cool.

This would be my choice. What about anything from BBS?

RPF1 's are nice and on the cheap side. I would look into Weds TC005, my new favorites right now. They are cheapish and light. Forged also, unlike RPF1.
