Good selection of lightweight rims?

**drvolkl** · 05-07-2008 03:38 PM

Besides Tirerack, WheelsNext and Edgeracing, where else is a good website to purchase light weight rims from?

I'm trying to narrow down my choices....any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a price range? Our lightest wheel here right now that we offer are the 18x8.5 +40 VB3 weighing in at 24lbs. & 18x8.5" +38 V708 at 25lbs.

I love the look of your wheels, but I'm trying to get to 22lbs or less. Anything to lighten up my S4.

Other sources I can think of are the classifieds (btw, I may be selling my OZ Sl's

) and going a custom route, such as the Iforged track wheels (See this thread, http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...hlight=iforged) or Forgelines (See this thread http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...ight=forgeline).

What size? OZ SL and Enkei Racing are at 19lbs and below for the 18's.

Yeah, I'm actually leaning towards OZ SL's and Enkei RPF1's...but I was trying to get something more unique...something no one has tried yet.

Doesn't seem to be happening.

So what did you end up getting?? I'm having the same dilemma right now.

The Hartmann HR8 replicas in 18" are only 22.20 Lbs :)

Those are very nice. I already have RS4 reps though (planning on using these for winter wheels eventually) so I'm going to get something more unique.

STAY AWAY FROM WHEELSNEXT!!!!
I got a set of wheels from them a few months ago, paid 2800$ and was told they were in stock and would be at my front door in 2 weeks...
a month goes by and no wheels, I call them up and they said the wheels are on backorder and they never had them in stock at any point
long story short i get my wheels after almost 2 months and they are the wrong finish so I call them to try to get them to send me the right ones and they wont give me a refund or send me the proper wheels unless I pay 580$ for shipping both ways (to canada) and a restocking fee even tho they messed up my order!!
After BATTLING on the phone with their "customer service department" (which is ONE person who is some punk kid who gave me serious attitude and blatently refused to let me speak to his manager after calling literally 20 times) I finally said screw it and put the wheels on my car and guess what....
I had vibrations coming through the steering wheel so I took them into a tire shop and they had to rebalance them because WHEELSNEXT didnt even balance them correctly
MORAL OF THE STORY: STAY AWAY FROM WHEELSNEXT AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!
i would have actually paid alot more through someone else just to have avoided all this B.S.
I have purchased tires of 1010tires.com and tirerack.com before and they were much better than these jokes
