Lighter rims than stock?

So ive been browsing around rims for a few days now and it seems the only rims lighter than stock really are OZ. Anyone know of any other options besides OZ's 360$ rims seems like alot of places dont post the weight of the rims.

well we need to know what kind of car you have.

You could buy some 15s or 16sI am sure the would be lighter.

Usually if they don't post the weight, you don't want them. This may help ---> http://www.wheelweights.net/ Just select "by weight" or "by size" or whatever on the left.


Oh, and if you have a SS/TC buy the O.Z. Alleggerita in 17s.............And tell me if they fit

Edit. Damn not a TC

They're expensive as hell, but GramLights are... well... light as hell. Lightest wheel i'ves ever seen was a GramLight

EDIT: Volk is another light weight wheel manufacturer

Enkei PF01's are a little cheaper than OZ's. They are about 18lbs. each.
