so light weight wheels means weak wheels? where is the logic in that? it all depends on how they wheels are made. my friend's bmw hamman 19" wheels weighs so much and it bent so easy

For drag racing, I picked up some Konig Daylite 17x7s.

14.5 pounds
$125 a wheel

Will not clear front rotors without spacers

Where did you buy them? I haven't seen 17x7's so far I've seen is 17x7.5

RPF1 17x7 is lighter a little bit(~13lbs). Also needs a spacer in the front

My 17x9 Buddy Clubs are 13.8lbs on my scale and are about the strongest wheel you can buy. They don't even feel like picking a wheel up honestly.

I need 17x7 for drag to fit MT motorcycle slicks. 17x9 is too wide for me

I love my Rays Gram Lights 57F, in 17x8.5 30mm offset.
I've hit a curb at 40mph, it damaged my lower arm, but my wheel survived it with just a ding.
It is worth it in my opinion to have a true forged wheel compared to semi forged or cast wheel.
I believe they are about 17lbs each, compared to 21lbs for stock.
I can definitely feel the difference in weight when i switch between them from winter to summer.
The suspension is able to react to the road a lot better obviously.

I thought the Gram Lights were cast as well?
