SO ive been searching for some good looking 18" rims for my WWP 8 and ive worn myself out... i really would like a lightweight black rim that looks good... please ive searched everyday for atleast a month... now im willing to change colors if they look good but since ive got a auto i cant be getting no 26lb rim... i prefer 20lb's or lower... please any ideas on a good lightweight rim?:tear:

buy a set of gram lights 57f and get them powder coated. there are dozens of lightweight wheels you can do this with.

these cost roughly $400 correct?

you must've missed the memo on those hot RPF1's black.

autornd is a vendor. He has black RPF1 18x9.5 17.5lbs for a great price. There are a ton of rims that are lightweight, and most of them can be found in black pretty easily.

Guess you did not look very hard....

OZ 18.4lbs about $1400 set.

yeh OZ has some awesome light wheels for such a low price.

18x8.5 5zigen FN01R-C's weigh about 22 lbs... not bad.

you must've missed the memo on those hot RPF1's black.

22lbs isn't lightweight....it isn't even lighter than stock. I know it's 1/2" wider but come on. My 9.5" RP03 weigh 20.7lb

black rpf1. .they weigh something ridiculous like 17lbs

ok, stock wheels weigh 21.5 and the 5zigens are listed as 21-22 on the official 5zigen website. I listed 22 because I thought someone would complain about the inaccuracy of the weight but realistically they prob weigh about the same as stock. Which is decently light, especially for the price and design. Besides the 5zigens look better than the rp03 imo.

The black rpf1's were sold out a long time ago.

^are you sure?

You want under 20lbs?

You have a TON of choices, look.
