I want THE lightest forged 17" rim...

I had a set of SSRs on my wrx and i kind of want to get a light setup for the EVO.

All the Volks seem to be kind of heavy at around 17lbs. The SSRs were 12.5lbs each at 17x7.5. I can expect the weight to be somewhat near there with 17x8.5 but they still dont have a wheel to fit the EVO's offset correctly. I dont want no damn spacers!

Anyway, if anyone knows of some Black or Anthracite wheels with a polished lip and are extremely light, post em up! Oh, Forged is my preference too...

I just sent them a mail, I asked them to make us some 17X8.5 wheels hehehehe..

Seriously though, those wheels are bad ***, they resemble the SSR Type C, but they are lighter.
