I believe the Maxxim Grips are pretty lightweight and are available in 5x110. Whether or not they'll clear the SS/TC Brembo's is beyond me though.

Our 5x110 bolt pattern hinders us from having all the lightweight wheels readily available to us. Wheels like Gram Lights, 5-zigen FN01R-C's, Motegi Trak Lite 1's & 2's, basically any Rota's.........

not really sure ive had mine for 25k miles and theyre still in great shape, dented one but was a pretty good pot hole. but overall theyre light look pretty damn sexy and are pretty easy on the wallet. i have some pics in my garage

I would say they only go up 2-3lbs. But if you really want to know then email them.


but both of those wheels are in the 1200-1300 dollar range for a set of four (17in)

Eh.....17"s....

If I had an SS/TC I'd at least want to keep my stock wheel size, not downgrade. I mean if they were a race only wheel...sure, a 17" would be good assuming it worked in conjunction with the Brembos. But for the street, if I wanted a lightweight wheel, I'd still want it to at least be an 18".

yeah I have 17s though so when I was looking I wasn't looking for 18s. But both of those do come in 18s
