Aftermarket WHEEL LIST w/weight for each

Here it is - I've been looking for this for months - a fairly comprehensive list of stock/aftermarket wheels and their weights. I call this essential pre-buy information, otherwise you may literally be buying a pig of a wheel with a cute face! This offers some direction.

For big bucks - I want it all - esp. lower unsprung weight.

S9K- You'd be better off continiuing to look. This list has been around since the days of my '93 MX-5 and has not been updated in quite a few years. Some of the wheels on this page aren't even available anymore.

Yea, I've noticed there are a bunch of missing wheels here in the list, but by looking at wheels by size and going to 18x8, 18x8.5, 18x9, etc, I get an idea of what are the 'lite' brands/wheels and can go looking from there.

For example, even on this old list some of the best 18x8 are only 15lbs or so (!!!) compared to our oem 24 I think it is. Thats's a 9lb unsprung weight savings on the wheel alone. That's major! (of course so is the price for these beauties too)

Anyway learning is a journey not a destination...one thing leads to another....
