17" light weight wheels !

So what tires did you get that were so light? Most of the ones Ive seen are in the low 20lb range. Size? out of curiosity.
 
yeah what tires and size? plz
 
i need new tires since my side walls on my falken 912s decided to split on the inner side walls after 3k...feels like bubbles coming out too,,,,non warranted issue too :/ according to falken I hit something
 
yeah, another member weighed the SI wheels on his bathroom scale -

"23.5 pounds without tires according to digital bathroom scale"
 
While we are on the topic of light weight wheels, anyone have any other recommendations for lightweight affordable wheels such as the enkei rpf1s?
 
Also, if you go to tirerack and put your car info in, do a search for compatible wheels. It will have an option on the left hand side to pick wheels that are various weights. That's another tool you can use to see what certain brands or designs weigh.

Thanks so much for the recommendation, I'm really feeling these wheels and for the price I should be able to grab a set in no time. Plus these are super light
 
you need to understand the process of the wheel..

lightweight cast wheel if not manufacturer properly, it's very dangerous to use on the road especially 9th gen civic is pretty heavy

enkei cast wheels are dura flow mat process (Most Advanced Technology)

kosei cast wheels are s.f. process (super forming)

ssr cast wheels are ssf process (semi solid forging)

these are all patent casting process that is all made in japan... and as far as i know, no one outside of japan can produce cast wheel this lightweight without sacrificing safety..
 
The Tracklite 2.0 is 6 spoke and a bit lighter than the one. But not as light as your joustmeisters. Lol.

thanks...

the current track lite version is ideal for heavier cars like 350/370z or accord that's looking for lightweight 18"
