I think. Check em out f*ck the 500 dollar a wheel for a forged alum wheel of a cast wheel thats virually the same cost.

TSW Nurburgrings are not fully forged, they are flow formed. the spokes are still cast.

Yeah, you can't cheat forging.

But those are suprisingly light for TSW "wizzles". And they look good too. And they come in black....

dammit..

At one point I was 100% decided on a set of rims and tires. Now I have no idea.. :P

That I've looked at so far:

Enkei PF01, RPF1
OZ Alleggerita
TSW Nurburgring

And that's just a really shortened list. A lot of 17x7s weigh less than 20lbs. The ones above are closer to 17lbs.

Those are all on my list, with:

Kosei K1 TS (15.5 lbs)
Wedssport TC105N (15 lbs)
OZ Ultraleggera (17.5)

I think RPF1s are kinda the no-brainer if you don't mind everyone else having the same wheels.

Thanks for the info.

So I guess, Toyota did good job on the wheels (not the design), cuz OEM wheels weight 20lbs

I was thinking about doing the offset adjustment too being its a RWD and maybe even jumping up to an 18 in the rear staggard out. BTW the TSW's are 17 x 8's for people who think its a 17x7

I just don't like the look of the RPF1s. The design makes the rims look an inch smaller than they actually are.

I will have to check out the others on your list.

If you widen the rear track by going to a lower offset than the front, and/or stagger with wider tires on the rear, you're going to shift the car's balance more towards understeer by increasing rear grip.

Unless yours are a custom order, I think you'll find they are +43.
