Made a trip back to school without a hassle and also drove around before hand with no trouble. I think the battery just died for some unknown reason.

Andrew- i was just checkin out some gram lights (wheels), and the ones i was lookin at all weighed in somewhere between 18.5 - 22.9 lbs. so if you could help me out a lil n tell me the exact specs of the one that weighs 13 lbs it would be great. my stock rims are shredding to pieces.

thanx in advance..

wow, 13lbs wheels. Your in 17" forged aluminum teritory there, and are looking at around 5-600 per wheel.

yea i know thats what i was thinking too but andrew said he's getting 18" gram lights that weighed around 13 ish ....i must'a heard wrong..

and yea the price is gonna hurt... theres gotta be some rim out there that actually fits on these calipers and is light, strong, and decent-looking. suggestions would be great.

17x9's +35 are 16-17 lbs and fit just fine, I would assume the 17x10's fit too, but I dont know the offset you would need.

Most tires will run around 30+ lbs a piece, so that is something to look into also.

thanks and yea good point, i was looking for 18x9.5's or maybe even 18x10's if they fit so im going to have to get new tires any how so do you have any light tires in mind? lol

talskinyguy · 09-11-2005, 08:19 PM

The fn01rc's come in 18x9.5's that weigh around 18-19lbs. Hoosier tires are the lightest I could find, but I think they are drag radials. I chose toyo proxies t1-s's, as they are slightly lighter than most other street tires in their size and had good reviews. But deffinatly look around at different tire reviews, and find something that fits what you want the car to do.
