99 spec, Bathurst / Type R, Mazdaspeed 17" wheels
Does anyone have any definitive specs on the wheel weight (in lbs), width, offset etc on
99 spec 17x8 wheels
Bathurst / Type R 17"wheels
Mazdaspeed MS01 or MS01s 17x8 wheels
I've seen different weights from sellers and posts and wanted to clarify.
Looking for an autocross light weight wheel setup in 17x8 (SCCA limits my width, diameter, etc)
Originally looked for Volk TE37, but kinda interested in the OEM JDM look too.
Looking for the lightest OEM JDM wheel in 17x8 to search to buy.
Thanks!

AFAIK, all three of these wheels came in a staggered setup, 17x8, 17x8.5, +50 for the two JDM sets on your list, the Mazdaspeeds, 17x8, 17x9, +35, +34, respectively.
If you're looking for a lightweight 17x8 wheel, I'd look into 949 Racing.
17x8 6UL 5 Lug
16.1 lbs, 5x144.3 PCD, and +48.

Don't have the numbers in front of me but I have had all of them.
The lightest is the silver 17" 5 spoke wheels 8J F 8.5J R on the 1996-2002 RS versions. 8.5J X4 in this flavor is very popular track setup over here for lots of different cars, weight is elite and the price is not.
Bathurst type R had 16" wheels and the small brakes on the US models.
The mazdaspeed MS01 is heavy, really heavy. The MS-01S on the other hand is very light but they were 8.5J F 9.5J R for the FD.

I'm sure you guys will be surprised to hear me telling you how awesome Fikse wheels are 
FACT: an FM10 (mesh) 17x8 +30 Fikse forged T6 aluminum three-piece wheel weighs in at 16.9 pounds.
You'll have a hard time beating that in a three piece wheel, that's for sure
Anyone wanting a price quote get in touch via PM, they're currently running a summer special

sad that it doesn't come in the size i'm looking for.
any pics of the 1996-2002 RS?
I couldn't find any after a little google search
or anyone have a real idea of the weight of the OEM 99 spec wheels?
