Those would be sweet.

8.5 lbs a piece for 15" and along with Hoosier slicks, I'd be at around 27lbs per corner. Rotas with Azenis are about 35lbs per corner. Yeah the setup would be about $2500, but for 32lb reduction in unsprung rotational weight, the extra $1500 would be worth it.

Volk (rays engineering) wheels are really light like that, and cost big money like that too. Ive seen cheapo cast wheels that weigh like 25-28lbs each, thats soo ------- heavy id stick to stock wheels over them. Good wheels arent cheap

or just rock some VX rims! OEM, look like the earlier JDM ITR rims but 13's. Wait 13's, thats like rocking donuts but there actually rims. :P Centerline's may be light but they look like they belong on some camaro's or mustangs. :-X I think theres a Axis rim thats a 4 spoke that's pretty light too but kinda nasty looking. SSR's comp. are pretty damn light but still costly.

centerline drag lites are pretty cheap.

Re:I want these!!!
 
I'm not looking to drag ::)

This car is for road race, so why would I buy 2? I'm not rice, I'd use all four.

I'll probably just buy the rotas or Flik's and gain that 3lbs per wheel and throw Hoosiers on them...

And he said his Volks with advan tires are lighter that the spoons.....Ill try and post pics of his car...Its ------ hard.
