I'd like to buy some 1-piece forged alloy wheels, but can't find exactly what I'd like. Maybe you all could help me. I'm looking for the lightest possible, black (with chrome lip would be excellent), and able to fit a 245/45 or 255/45 tire up front, and 295/45 in the rear.

Motegi makes the traklite 1.0 and 2.0, but the best size I could do is 17x8 which is the same as stock and wont allow me to run anything tire wise.
15lb and 14.5lb



I really like these Axis wheels. My car is yellow and I can get 18s which is what I'm looking for. They are only 16lbs, but the one draw back, they seem to only come in 18x8.5 which is fine for the front, but severly limit the rear.


Interested in the Enkei RPF1's aswell, although I don't think they are forged. Would probably run a 18x7.5 front (with 245/45) and 18x9.5 rear (with 295/45). 17.6 and 18.6lb


Any input? I really like the Axis, but kinda screws me over with the width

Its the black wheel color thats limiting you on wheel choices...

What about going custom with one of these guys:

And there is another company called Redline wheels...they do custom forged wheels that are to die for in any color... I just can't find their website. I thinks its roughly $2K for a set or so...

The Enkei RPF1s are not forged but are pretty light

Here is a link to a thread on the new Enkei PF01s which right now come only in silver but apprarently will be coming later in black, per the thread an 18 x 9.5 x 35 mm offset weighs 20 lb

Rota makes some wheels that are pretty light for the money too. www.wheeldude.com is a huge distributor and has good prices.

Riptide

Here are some RPF1. 18.6 lb.

I remember reading your thread when you were putting these on your car. Did you do 18x9.5 on all corners?

Riptide

Yep 18x9.5 all around.

if you want to spend mad loot on really light wheels that's the place

Looks like you have plenty of room with your combination. I expected 9.5 to stick out alittle bit on the front, which I don't want. Would like to keep everything tucked in nicely so they don't throw mud down the side of the car.

How's the rear? I was thinking a beefy 295/45/18
