Lightest 18x9.5 wheel besides the Enkei RPF1?
 
I recently sold my black Enkei RPF1's because I wanted to go with a different look.

What wheels are just as light with a +45mm offset?

imput1234 11-30-2008 01:28 PM

Volk RE30 lighetest, CE-28, Wedsport TC105N

they should but not sure about the offset.

Transam kid 01 11-30-2008 02:58 PM

ultralegarras? Not as light but close

TopGear8 11-30-2008 03:25 PM

^I thought those only came in the 18X8's

turborx8 11-30-2008 03:46 PM

The RE30's would be great but I hate the 4month wait time.

TopGear8 11-30-2008 03:56 PM

^And the price!

imput1234 11-30-2008 05:43 PM

you wanted the lightest. EDIT: actually BBS RE in mag are the lightest.

StuttgartRX8 11-30-2008 06:12 PM

the Volk TE-37 Mags are like 13lbs a piece.

Rotr8 11-30-2008 06:52 PM

On tirerack the BBS REs are 20.3lbs there are a ton of wheels lighter than that
EDIT-forgot about the Mag....

imput1234 11-30-2008 07:55 PM

The mag ones are between 14-15lbs.

Zelse 11-30-2008 08:05 PM

Got any pics on rx8s just for kicks? BTW what about the ings+1 wheels that fluidmotorsports has? Maybe not the lightest but still decent, no?

kersh4w 11-30-2008 09:53 PM

te-37 mags in 18x9.5 are $1700 each.

not for the faint of heart.

also, the 18x10 is 14lbs. can you imagine what 17x8.5 is? i bet thats dropping 10lbs per corner....

imput1234 11-30-2008 11:07 PM

Have you guys seen the weds full carbon one

don't think you'll get much lighter. ;) wrong size tho

turborx8 12-01-2008 05:48 AM

For the price the Volk RE30's are the best choice IMO.

Who should I order these from? I want to make sure that I don't loose $4k to a non reputable shop.

StuttgartRX8 12-01-2008 05:49 AM

I ordered my volk te-37's from Japanparts and had them in 18 days and it was a very good experience since I hate waiting for parts.

SiLVeRE8 12-01-2008 07:04 AM

ce28's are about 16 pounds each

I can't find anything on their website.

They don't even list Volk as a parts manufacturer!

Thats because the wheels are all Rays, they don't have the RE30 listed but they can probably get it you just have to ask.

pdxhak 12-01-2008 12:14 PM

Send a PM to japanparts and I'm sure he can hook you up. BTW love the RE30s! What color and size you going with?

Yeah, for these being out for around two years now, I still have yet to see any GT cars or anything for that matter race with these. I f I start to see serious race teams trust in a extremely brittle material like carbon then I may consider them....
