Help me find light wheels (see spec details inside)

[Sportsguy83]

I'm looking for a specific type of wheel. See the requirements below.

UNDER 20 Lbs.

Comes in a non-dark color (silver, polished metal, bronze, etc.)

18X9.5 or 18X10 From +38 to +42 offset

Really prefer concave, the more concave the better....

I really prefer JDM wheels....

No replicas

Let's get the usual suspects out of the way.

T-66F
ZE40 (current wheels)
TE37SL
RPF-1...


No show me what else I can get on those offset/size ranges... I know it's a hard detailed spec to meet, but a few minds work better than just one...

In to see some light wheels that maybe I can get in 17x8 haha

Anything CCW.

Volk CE28RT Black Edition 18x9.5 +40



Can't find the exact weight, but I believe they're around 18lbs.

I believe 18x9.5 Enkei RS05RR come in just at 20 pounds. If you get the M-Face, they have a concave look. Comes in silver and also isn't outrageously priced.

ft86partpicker.com is a site I've been building as a personal project. Go to the wheels section, pick 9.5 for width and sort by weight. Every wheel in the universe is not listed, it's just meant to be a collection of popular/proven ones.

Try it out! Let me know what else I can add. Other sections def need more products.

JDM, Concave, under 9kg, and 18x9.5 or 18x10. That's a tall order. You don't mention price, so I am assuming that it doesn't matter. I'd would just call a dealer of JDM wheels. They will be more than happy to help.

My vote is for Volk CE28n or T-66F.

I love them, but I don't want them dark/black, it's the only thing keeping me from getting them.

I like the RS05RR a lot, I didn't get them from m last wheels because I was coming from bright silver wheels and wanted something a bit different. They're +43 offset just a bit over +42 (no big deal but concerns over fitment as I have very tight tire clearance right now with 275/35/18).

I love their most concave wheel, but obviously that does not fit stock fenders.

I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the input.

WedsSport SA10-R 18x9.5 et 45 - 9.2 kg (20lbs on the button) 5x100 - ZBB Color (Bright outside, dark inside). Not quite et42 but they still fill the wheel wells nicely. I run the 8.5" wide version with a spacer to get them flush. MicheleAbbate runs the same wheel along with TC105n's depending on the tires mounted (i'm guessing). Both the 8.5 (18.5 lbs) and 9.5 width's are quite light for a non-forged wheel. They're made with Weds AMF tech (flow forming).

Here is another forum member with the 9.5" version w no spacer, of course.

Powder coat them?

CE28N should be available in bronze in an 18x9.5 I believe.

Another option:

Advan RG-D 18x10 +38 (They should weigh in just under or at 20)



Also look at some of the other Advan R-series too (RGIII, RS-D, RZ, etc)

Here's a pretty useful site: http://japanesewheel.com/639-pcd-5-x...dth-95j/page-3

I want to avoid PC wheels. If it came down to that, I'd keep the ZE40s and PC them.

I have been close to pulling the trigger on Advan's, only thing turning me off had been color since I have already had gold wheels, and was looking for a shinny/polished silver look now, but they're on the table.

The RG II and RS-D both come in a polished/shiny SBC type finish in 18x10.

RS-D


RG II

ZE40 (current wheels) - current as in already you have them? In that case i don't think one needs to search more. Maybe not absolutely lightest (rather hard to find weights for volk racing wheels), but with increased strength, forged, good looking.

Both are 5x114.3 not 5x100
