New Wheels

I want to get a set of new wheels. any suggestions? trying to stay away from typical volks and buddy club wheels. going for light weight while still have a large size mayb 18-19. loved the rg-r's weighing only 16 per wheel. so does any wheel come to mind guys?

mugen, racing hart, rota, enkei all have light weight wheels, be sure to check the specs though. there's a pretty new wheel by axis called the reverb that looks really nice, check that one out as well

enkei makes a 19x8 that weighs only 18.7 lbs








also the ron jon 1 piece devotions are actually very light and come in a full polish and you can get them in an 18x8 or 19x8.5

I see you sold the BBS not to long ago in the blackmarket section, are you replacing those or are you getting rid of your iForged?

I think most of the Ray's 2-piece wheels are 19-20lbs for 19"
