The lightest 1 piece forged 18" aluminum wheels are in the 17's. I think the magnesium 18" wheels are in the 14 lb range also. 3x the price for ~3 lbs delta compared to aluminum or twice what volk mags run is on the spendy side.

Kudos though for bringing this to market though.

If anyone wants to see a set, I will be bringing a Porsche GT-3 to the EXC Show in downtown Los Angeles w/ the wheels on the car. Feel free to come by and have a look...
