Gram Lights 57f's are very light. 17" are around 13.5lb's. I am very happy with these.
Old piq of my car, but you get the idea

 

+1 for RPF1's. I can't comment on strength since I'm very careful to avoid pot holes... but They are light, and cheap for the weight. I have 17x8.5 +30 with the stock tires.

Looks kinda goofy at stock ride height but I didn't get them for the looks

 

I'm running 17 X 8 Enkei RPF-1's also +35mm offset. These babies weigh in at 15.5 pounds per wheel. I'm using a new set of OEM Yokohama A046's on these wheels....

 

I didnt know they were that light, how much do they retail for?

 

I remember seeing your car when I was deciding on getting rpf1's

 

thanks..... so what size did you get?

 

well atleast you accepted the idea (unlike half the DSM and honda world) that theres no such thing as cheap, strong AND light wheels. im a big fan of the RE30's as they are forged(strong) and VERY light. i also like buddyclubs but they're fairly hard to obtain.

RPF1 i would NOT trust if you do alot of track-work; street wheels they are sufficient/light/cheap but fuggly

 

 

FN01-RC

just a personal preference

can be found anywhere here's one place http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/i...4542_4546_4556

 

i thought the lightest were the buddy club p1's .. they weigh 14.5 .. also forged..

 

High $400's a piece I believe.

 

The Kosei K1-TS. 15.5lbs and $219 each.

I had a set that I bought off of Curt Brown. I sold them to another EvoM member about a year ago.

Hope that helps!

 

/\ I think I know who has them lol

 

I figured you would post a reply thats why I didnt bother saying who it was. lol

 

unless you are going bigger (and thus stretching the sidewalls, lowering your overall diameter) your stock BBS are exactly what you said you wanted. they really are pretty good already. for a 8-9" wide rim, 17 lbs or an lb per inch of diameter is pretty good. IIRC they are already forged too!

if you want an extra set of stock-sized wheels, id personally run some of the other lightweight, cheaper, cast wheels mentioned in this thread (FN01R-C, RPF-1, Kosei, etc.) as your winters and track wheels and keep your stock BBSs nice (if you ever sell the car or just in general its nice to have mint set of stocks), but that's just me.

Regarding potholes and strength: forged wheels are stronger and stiffer than cast, but a big enough pothole is going to damage either kind of wheel if you hit it hard enough, and a bent wheel is a bent wheel and is no longer usable (if you're smart and want to be safe). the question is, do you want it to be a $200 cst lightweight wheel, or a $550 forged lightweight wheel?
