i'm looking for 17x 8 front and 17x9.5 or 10. currently running 18" looking to down size for better tires.

 

volk ce28n or volk gram lights

 

Loi, dont do it. You FD looks so phat with the rims you already have. DONT DO IT!!!!!

How much do the volk ce28n and lights wieght?

 

I think the SE is the lightest one. CE was heavier than I expected.

The lightest wheel out there is probably the Racing Hart CP035R.

Just get a set of 99 Wheels from Jesse Lau then

 

Any pics fd3st04r of your current setup?

 

I was quoted $3800 for CPO35R's...ouch

 

SSR Competitions are reasonably super-light, and they've got pretty sufficient blingage too.

 

Yes SSR Comps are very light as well.

 

Se37k's are 16.5lbs.... I think, maxcooper want to chime in? He has the Se's in 17's

 

17x9.5 SE37Ks are 16.6 lbs with center caps and valve stems. 17x8.5 was 15.4 lbs or so with the same accessories.

SSR Competition wheels are also very light -- I think they are a tad lighter than my SE37Ks.

A Volk rep once told me that their CE28N was their lightest wheel (at SS5, I think). I suspect it is only fractionally lighter than their other one-piece forged wheels, though. If you can find a one-piece forged Volk or the SSR Comps, they will all be in the same ballpark, and much lighter than most other wheels.

SSR SP-1 Professors anyone?

 

That's a multipiece wheel. I doubt the professor is very light relative to what we're looking at.

tripeclipse told me wrong then...he said the Professors were light based on the UPS shipping charges...

 

"light" and "super freaking light" might be two different things.

If you want the lightest 18 inch wheels for your FD, and price is not an issue, just go out and get some Mazdaspeed MS01 Mags, lol, total about $6k for just the wheels, hehehe. Here's a link to a pic:

fikse are pretty darn light as well.

 

have SSR integrals 18" about 17lbs

 

17 lbs for 18" wheels is very light. The average is probably 25+ lbs for 18" wheels.

We should mention width when quoting wheel dimensions. An 18 x 7 would be lighter than an 18 x 10. This is why I quote width BEFORE diameter, thus 7 x 17 or 10 x 18...

 

A very light wheel choice is the 5Ziegen FN-01R which is the forged version. Here are the prices and weights:
17x8 - 6 kgs and $450 ea. white, black and bronze only
17x9 - 6.7 kgs and $525 ea. white, black and bronze only. Both come in 48mm offset
