Lightweight 17x9 wheels?
 

I currently have some 17x9 inch wheels that are pretty heavy (22lbs each) and I want to buy some wheels that are much lighter. I am stuck on that size as I run 245/40/17 tires and my car is only driven on weekends or to AutoX/Time attack type events. I know the Enkei RPF1's are a good option and I beleive Volk makes some TE37's in that size but I wanted to see if anyone had any other options or opinions for some good competition wheels in that size. It does not seem to be very popular and I don't have to go with 18's. Thanks for any advice or opionions you might have.

TC105N
Rota Titans

best bet are the RPF1's. best bang for buck

Hard to beat the Enkei's without spending double.

I wouldn't call 'em "pretty" but they are lightweight for 9inch width.

However, I have to say +1 to the RFP1's for the price/weight/looks...hard to beat.

17X9 ENKEI RPF1'S 15.6 lbs

RPF1's for sure, picking up 17x9 +35 this weekend.

I may just have to go with the Enkeis. What size tires are you all running?

Mach V awesome!

^ mach v awesomes are about the same price as the enkeis and are a little heavier, but the come in the correct hub bore so do don't have to run rings and they come with an offset that won't poke or rub on stock suspension.

Can't go wrong with Enkei. Even my 18X9.5's don't weigh a lot at 17.1 lbs. Very awesome wheels.

Plus RPF-1's are sexy. People who know cars will see the wheels and nod with respect every time

At least I do when I see them haha

subbed!

TC105N's are just beautiful imo! Mine are 17x9 +35 with 245s as well. https://scontent-b-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/...52271983_n.jpg

can't go wrong with tc105n 17x9 35. i got my set for 1600. each wheel weighs 15.4lbs and clears bbk

Yeah, tc105n are super light and not horribly expensive. 1700 bucks and under 16lbs. Enkei RPF1 if you don't have that much money for wheels. And if you don't have 1100 you can get Rota Titans which are 17.8lbs and only 700 bucks.

Just did a set of 17x10 F14's for an S2000 customer and before he picked up we weighed one, check it out!!

Yes, that's 17x10, so you can imagine how much a 17x9" might come in at. PM me for more info!

Hey Jurrian, mine are 16.2lb per a photo on a digital scale on Forgestar's FB page! 17X8.5

Mach V Awesomes

17.8 lbs
+42 offset is perfect so fits under fenders and clears stock spring perch
Flow-formed so they behave more like forged wheels if catastrophic failure occurs (they tend to bend rather than crack).
Less common than RPF1s so you're not just another guy on RPF1s.
$249 each - sweet price for a motorsports oriented wheel.
