A lot of those multi-piece wheels are a bit on the heavy side.

on my Camry, I have Volk GT-N's. 18x8 is about 18lbs. Not too Shabby for a two piece wheel. If you want something lighter, I would suggest Gram Lights, TE37's or CE27's from Volk Racing. Those are very light.

I wonder how much those gram light 57f's weigh. They look pretty hot, forged 1 piece, so they should be fairly light.

Iforged lightweight series? sound like some new marketing tactic... lol

They are forged... i dunno

I'd rather go with DPE, which are lightweight, multipiece, and forged.. atleast they can back up what they tell the public and have original designs and custom finishes...

I have never seen a 17" dpe wheel

The iForged lightweight series apparently uses a different forgine technique which allows for lower weight. I dunno, didnt really see much info about them, so thought I would ask.
