Ultra light wheels
Looking for ultra light 16 inch wheels
I found some made by Nippon racing but I cannot find them anywhere on the web, I only found them at the local HP racing shop who wanted to overcharge the crap outta me.
The ones I found were 10 lbs.... and that's what i'm shooting for... ULTRA light. willing to spend 800-1000 on wheels alone.
Anyone have an opinion on Nippon wheels? I have OZ moda II's on my car now... they are too heavy for my s4 n/a but they would look killer on a 3rd gen. They are for sale... 1000 for the set Potenza's up front with ~20k miles and Nan-kangs in the rear with ~15k. 8inch wide in the front and 10 in the rear. They do have dings. These wheels are old, but straight. OZ no longer sells them.
Thanks... -mike

How wide are you looking to go? I would look into SSR Competitions. I doubt you will find a lighter wheel in that price range....the Comps even look good!

I've got 15" Slipstreams for my daily driver. I like the way they look and they are light and relatively inexpensive. Rota makes a bunch of wheels that are good in their own right, even though they are knock-offs. I like 'em because you can get them in black, too. 
I got my Slipstreams from forum member ARD T2 (Rishie) for a good deal. Plus, I knew I could trust him since I bought wheels from him before. Get a price from Rishie before you make a purchase.

trying to build a racecar
You might be able to get a set made by Kodiak Racing in that weight. www.kodiakracingwheels.com But I would think any wheel that light would be very easily damaged if you drove them on the street.
Good luck
