which of these company produce the lighter wheels. im looking for 17 x 12.

 

Fikse!!!

 

There not the lightest, sure looks the best though.

 

I've never heard Work Wheels referred to as light.

Perhaps the magnesium wheel from the IT-S line but noone can afford those

Although 17x12 you aren't going to have a helluva lot of choices of wheel - so that makes the decision easier

 

Kinesis - (pic stolen from somewhere)

 

damn! that sucks for as pricey as those wheels are!

 

?????????? Kenesis!!????

They are forged, right? How come? Maybe it's taking too mcuh force that no wheel would be able to take??

 

HRE's Banned in Viper Club Racing?

Good 'ol Fikse baby

 

"Fool's Fashion" is right. Why would anyone in their right mind run HREs on the track anyway? They're known as more of "Bling Bling" show wheel and they're also damn heavy to boot!

 

I think it's becasue HRE make believes that their wheels are extremely strong, which should be true....just like other forged wheels.

I don't know but, I can lift my VS-XX 18x12's over my head with one hand.

 

That doesn't mean anything. Put the wheel on a scale and tell us what it says.

I think kinesis wheels are awesome, I will probably go with them when i get new wheels.

Work Wheel VS-XX 3 Piece 18X10 with Pirelli P Zero Rosso 285/35/18... Combined weight, 52 lbs...

 

Okay you got me the total weight for both wheels completely boxed was 60lbs

 

I have owned Work Meister S2R's and they were pretty darn heavy.

 

[QUOTE=20B 3rd Gen]I can lift a Dodge Ram 20" chrome wheel over my head with one hand...

 

Assuming Tireracks weights are correct, 285/35/18 weigh 26lbs. So, RX7UP's VS-XXs in 18x10 weigh about 26lbs.

For comparision, I have Kinesis K58 in 18x9 with 50 offset and they weigh 19lbs each. I believe that Kinesis makes both racing (lighter) and street wheels as Steve Cirian's 18x10 K58s weighed 24 lbs according to his site.

 

Talking about light, I probably have the lightest wheels on this forum

Fronts, 8.6 lbs each
Rears , 11 lbs each

 

I'd say that the Work wheel VS-XX are about an average weight for a 18X10, 3 piece Wheel. Closer to the lighter side of the 3 piece 18X10 spectrum....

 

What are the dimensions?

 

15X10 rears

15X 3.5 fronts

 

how heavy are fikse? can they make 12" wide wheels?

 

Not to be a dick, but congratulations, who the F' cares?
