    Lightbulb Super light weight wheels?

    Anybody recommend some other than Dforce LTW-5s? They look good, they're reasonably priced and at around 7kg for a 17x8 they are pretty light! And best of all they are et 40

    BUT, that said what else is out there?

    I have weighed them before out of curiosity, one of the rears were 12kg versus an OEM sunflower rear which was 17kg as far as I remember...both with tyres

    Style 19's were fairly light too, they are less then 10kg front and rears. Most 2 piece wheels tend to be light Peter.

    17 / 12 kg sound like big numbers Ger... is that wheel+tyre? My old 16 inch wheels that came with the car were 8.36kg per wheel...! (according to this: http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/25 )
