Low cost light weight wheel options in 17x9 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

What are some lower cost light weight wheel options in 17x9?

Price around 250 or below as RPF1's are that much and they are the answer for many people.
Something different than the rpf1's.
I am looking for 17x9 +35/+42 ~18lbs ~$250.
Affordable/low cost are also welcome, 20ish lbs or lighter please.
Be aware that lower end brands do not have jwl/via/tuv, etc testing and may have fake stampings.

Current list under 18lbs-

~$250 Enkei RPF1 17x9 +35/+45 15.8lbs(I believe weight is for +45, +35 should be 16.1lbs or so)
~$230 720 Form GTF1 17x9 +35 16.8lbs Sold out every where in the US.
~$250 Apex Arc-8 17x9 +42 17.8lbs
~$250 949 Racing 6UL 17x9 +40 17.4lbs 949 Racing 6ul 17x9 +40
~$250 Mach V Awesome 17x9 +42 17.8lbs (5Zigen FN01RC style, others use this style also)
~$170 Konig Hypergram 17x9 +40 17.49lbs link Partial sponsorship for nasahttp://konigwheels.com/nasa/
~170 Konig Ultraform 17x9 +40 17.85lbs link
~$226 Advanti DST Storm S1 17 17x9 +45 17.7lbs

Mid weight 18-20lbs

~210 Enkei TSP-5 17x9 +45 19.75lbs
~210 Enkei TS-10 17x9 +45 19.3lbs
~$139(closeout)-177 TRMotorsports FF10 17x9 +45 18.3lbs link
~$129 TRMotorsports C4 17x9 +45 19.1lbs link
~$169-209 Kosei K6R 17x9 +42 18.8lbs Currently on clearance on tire rack. Original price $209
~$200 Rota Titan 17x9 +42/+45 17.8/18.1lbs Wheel directory(WedsSport tc105n style)
~$100-125 Ambit RE02 17x9 +35 19.95lbs(made by MST and re-badged as ambit) (Enkei RS05RR style) *Beware(see post 20 "Ambit lied about being VIA / JWL registered.") *edit Some versions do not have the markings.

Those two wheels you listed are pretty much it. I think Rota Titans fall under 20lbs in a 17x9.

TSW Interlagos

I've got a set of these wheels. They look great and the price isn't bad either. Really happy with them so far. I think they are having a special on them now as well.

I may get flamed a little for this but I've tracked my xxr 527 17x8.25 et35 and I love them for only $105 a piece. They fit 245/40r17 wheels perfectly and are flush with the fenders as well. I think they are about 20lbs or so. A couple pounds less per wheel isn't going to do anything for me unless I'm a pro racing driver, or the stig where the hundredth of a second will actually do something for me.

xwd · 12-27-2015, 02:27 PM

The 949 UL rims are 17x9 +40, 17.8lbs, and $239/ea.

I get compliments all the time. The pics they are using for their group buys (the silver BRZ) is mine.

@swarb I don't know if this will be helpful or not, but last week I placed an order for the GTF1's in 17x8, and the shop I bought them from said they could source 2 wheels no problem, but would have to find another 2 from another shop or whatever. Find someone local to you, like I did and see what they can do for you maybe?

TSW only makes 17x8 with the 5x100 bolt pattern, no 17x9.
