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.

Hard to beat the Enkei's without spending double.

https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whee...All&sort=Brand 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.

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

^ 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
