Good light weight wheels for under $200 ea.

I am thinking of getting some wheels for my FD, unfortunately I don't want to spend more than $200 a piece(unless I can find some good used wheels). I am looking for 17x7.5 or 17x8 wheels that are lightweight.

If you guys know of any, can you post what brand and model and if you know, how much they weigh.

thanks

Stock fd wheels are 16x8 you should be looking at 17x8 as a minimum upgrade x7.5 is too narrow for an fd. 17x9 or x9.5 is even better for the rear.

Only option like that in a staggered fitment would be the RP01. They are running out though, so let me know if you need a set. I will be placing one more order for the wheels this week. Pm me if you are interested.

I have a few other options, but they are not less than 20 lbs. a piece, but still within your budget. I can get you 18,8's and 18,9's if you want. For like $900.00 or so.

Thanks, Rishie
