Any suggestions?

I'm looking for the lightest wheels I can find, something in the 17 or 18 inch variety that will look good on a Rio Red 98 GT lowered with C-springs. I would like to stick with a 8 or 9 inch width up front and a 10 or 10.5 out back, but I'm open to suggestions.

for the price...these are hard to beat... both import and domestic guys use for autox.. 17x9.5 Enkie RPF1 (16.3 lbs). 38mm offset. comparing to a 99 stock rim 17x8 weighing 17lbs..

I've got 17x8 and 17x10.5 Chrome 1995 Cobra R replicas right now and I really like the look, but they are a bit heavy. I don't know exactly how much they weigh and I probably don't want to know. I just cant find any light weight wheels that are the sizes I like and look good.

I was thinking 15-18 lbs would be light enough for me to justify the expense of the wheels, at least if they are not more than say $200 each.

I really like the 5 spoke designs like the 1995 Cobra R, 1998 Cobra, etc. The MM Konig light weight wheels look pretty good, but only come in the 17x9 size. I feel like 17x9 is a bit too narrow for my rear and 17x9 may stick out a bit in the front.

I'm surprised how high of offset you used. I suppose the new edges are much lower. I was looking at 18x9.5 +15 / 18x10.5 +15. :nice:
