New BS Light Wheels Thread
The old thread has a lot of discontinued wheels listed on it. So, what's still available these days for us that's lightweight and legal, from standard retail channels (non-custom)?
O.Z. Ultraleggera - 48 offset, 18.4 lbs, 335$/each from TR
SSR Comp H - 48 offset, 17.5 lbs, 469$/each from TR
Rota P1 - 48 offset, 19.0 lbs, 187$/each from some random company
Kodiak - ? offset, 16 (?) lbs, 735$/each from Kodiak
Anything else anyone knows about worth getting?

Only comes in 35 offset. =/ Stock offset is 50, so needs to be between 45-55mm offset to be legal for BS.

Just an FYI... Once the stock of SSR Comp H at 17.5 is sold out, they will be replaced with the SSR Comp Type C RS at 18.5 lbs.
So that makes the OZ, and the Rota P1 look like the best options.
Whats a guys with a $4k set of shocks care what a set of wheels cost? You spent the money on the wrong part.

Hey, money's for spending. ;-) (And they only cost 2k, I got Barbara's shocks. I'm tired of getting killed on the supertight courses at Everett, among other things.)

Hahahah - no, I'm just hoping to lose by slightly less to the local Solstices. :D
We're gonna have a fun BS crew here this year - Steve and I will be codriving my car, and George and Joe will be codriving Joe's car. Should be a good year.

Kodiak can make 16lbs wheels...about $2200/set, last time I checked.
I've seen the set which Daryl made for Team, that then went to Presley and are now in the Bay Area with Glen...they're nice
Now that he has the design down, the only real question is how long to build...anywhere from one month to four months, I've heard. Still, nice wheels and in our application, I don't think breakage should be an issue.

They show them on the website with too small of a hub bore, so you need to either e-mail or call them to get them to fit the RX-8. They have a few in stock with the Mazda bore, or they'll get whatever you want machined out to fit. I paid $850 shipped including the machining fees.

I will be very interested to see your results on weight and fitment. I would also be great to see a picture of the drilled out hub center and know if you're still able to fit a center cap on the wheel after that process.....
