Lightest wheel possible for everday driving

[lisn2me2]

what are some of the lightest possible 17 that can still use the stock re 92s

and withstand NY everyday driving?

[Xenonk]

wow.. for NY or NYC??

 

for the rest of NY =

SSR Competitions (forged) in 17"x7.5" = 12.5 to 12.9 lbs

 

for NYC =

any rim heavier than stock in cast form (21 lbs+)

 

 

My suggestion is to run a set of 225/45/17 tires or 235/45/17 tires on a 17"x7.5" wheel in NY. The taller sidewall will help you save your rims from bending.

at least get a superlegger so that when you bend it OZ will replace it (for life) at 14lbs

Agree, either SSR Comp ($369) or OZ Superleggera (apr. $280) at Tirerack

SSR is in financial trouble....not sure how they will back their products or whether they will be aroudn to offer replacements wheels if you bend one. I would go for OZ's.

 

I have 18" Prodrive P1's and drive in DC quite often - they are certainly not light, but I don't have to worry about them either.

Does OZ really provide a replacement warranty? Wow, I like that! I was going to buy some cheap wheels (Rotas) for my OBXT because I expect to be pretty tough on them, but this would make it worth paying more for the Superleggera!
