12.5 wheel options

I am planning to go wide and wanted to know other than CCW, Kinesis and Fiske wheels what other options are out there that are light.

It's too bad they don't make RPF1's in that size since I love the design.

I need a 12.5 wheel to house 335 tires...

Bogart Race Wheels (www.bogartracingwheels.com). The RR10 or R/T styles in the Road Race section are very light. My 17x12.5's weigh about 19lbs. Not sure what current costs are, but I'd expect in the 600/wheel range.

If you want to go to 18's or larger you can try CCW.

J line has some models in that width - http://jlinewheels.com/models.html

You could pick up a low offset pair of rpf1's and have them widened?

Forgeline is another good option.

Not sure on offsets, but I believe with the Pettit flares it will bea +12 to +20 around that area.

If I don't go this route I will just roll the fenders and stick 18x10.5 or 11 with 295 or 305....I just need more tire back there than my 265...

not looking for show wheels, I like the design of the RPF1 but they only make it to 10.5....As long as it is light and with similar design as the RPF1...

Other than the brands you have listed I don't have many ideas maybe a T10 from CCW.

Rare that brands are making stuff wider than 10'.

Kai, for a two rotor I'd imagine a 10.5 inch rear with sticky 295s will be more than enough grip for you, unless I'm missing something
