here you go:

I really like these rims as well, but considering their cost you can get lighter ones. right now I'm looking into Buddyclub Racing pf's but it looks like I'd need spacers to fit their 48 mm offset. another choice is the velox vx6-r which is cheap, has the same attrative design and is still under 17 lbs for the 17" size.

honestly I don't know any more. I've had so many rims on order only to get f'd over by companies time and time again. so much for looking for a good deal eh?

oh and not to ramble, but since you are looking at the 15" size check out the offerings by rota. they're values can't be beat, and their offset will work w/o spacers as long as its the 15" size.

Yea Im looking for very lightweight wheels of about 15" maybe 16" because anything over that is gunna hurt my perfomance and as long as there 7" wide I might as well get the smaller wheels and save on tires. Where can I get the buddy clubs? I was thinking of them but Im looking at a deall for the Kosei K1s for damn cheap. Must be under 15lbs, more like 12 or lower is what I really want. I saw rota too, you recommend a website with great deals? I want a 15x7 rim with Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712s, seems to be the best performance setup for my st...Thanks man.

you have a hookup on the k1s? cause the only place I've seen them is on tirerack and their prices are mediocre at best.

the buddy clubs are kind of hard to find too but I've emailed a couple places for quotes. only problem is the forged ones ( the ultra light ones) only come in 48 mm offset which requires spacers. they actually have the regular ones (same weight as k1) to fit our cars but I dunno yet what the prices will be.

honestly I think the best deal would probably be any rota rims as they are ultralight and they can be found for dirt cheap. check out any buys on groupbuycenter by a store called revolutions. they gave me the run around about some stuff before but they're prices are good so its worth it.

let me know what you find out.

btw, I am looking for 17" but under 17 lbs if possible.
