Default lightest rims that can fit our scs

ive been doing research on rims for a while and at first was going to cheap out and buy 5 spoke sportmax rims but now im really considering sacrificing both arms and legs for a good set haha but anyways the point is what rims are the lightest you know of that are good quality and at the same time good looking is always a plus. i found my top 2 trd japan sports t3 in bronze which weigh approx 7.5 kg!!


and number 2 toms racing vp-8 rims which weigh approx 11kgs please correct me if im wrong. lets see those rims!!

You can pick up some 5zigen fn01rc's for a good price. (around 120 each) If you threw some 16's on I think they only weigh like 17 lbs. per wheel.

Those are cool wheels
CE28N was one of finalist for my SC.
I ended up going with GT-F because of wheel size.

I hope you're weighing the stockers without the tires because last time i checked combind with tires (Dunlop wintermax if it matters) it was about 35 pounds. Definitley a huge difference over my summer wheels.

CCW classics will be light and clear the TT brakes.
My 10" wide CCW drag rears with ET street tires on them are only 34lbs each

The bigger the rims the more they weigh. As mentioned, forged wheels tend to be lighter, as well will 2 or 3 peice wheels.
i.e. My 3 peice forged work wheels are light for 20's bur heavy compared to other wheels. The 20 x 10 rears are 22lbs without tires. On the other hand I had a set of cheap 18" Konigs that weighed 23lbs. If you want light get 17" forged wheels, they should be 15lbs and lighter, I had a set of 17" that were only 11lbs each.
What size Wheel are you looking for?
Also a huge consideration should be tires if weight is important to you. BFG are Heavy! Continentals are light! That weight will be worse than the wheel weight since its is farther out than the wheel.
