bump, does anyone know of any lightweight rims that are 17 or 18inch?

 

Steeda Ultralights. They only make 18's.

ive looked into those but from what ive heard, they really arnt that light? can someone tell me the weight #s on the ultralights?

 

Hood, seats, interior, wheels, swap suspension parts for aluminum stuff, accesories in the engine compartment, stereo, A/C, heat, you can strip a lot from a car a still have it streetable. My first mod was replacing the 150 lb front seats with 27 lb Corbeau racing seats

 

hood is already very light weight and probably isn't worth the dough to replace and save 3lbs. the interior weighs a LOT, but taking it out is against what most people who want to still drive their car on the street want. im not sure how many options there are for aluminum suspension parts right now. all very common practices normally, though

 

an a/c compressor weighs a boatload, and a few companies already have a/c delete kits. thats worth a lot of weight saved.

 

sorry, forgot to mention this. MMR has rear seat delete, ac delete, bilet aluminum flywheel, and while its not a weight saver, an electric water pump frees up some power. completely different topic. i know.

 

all these are great ideas, except i want to keep my ac and heat, its my daily driven streetcar

 

well yeah, a/c is a nice thing to have. you can keep your heat without a/c, and isnt it always cooler to role with the windows down? okay, maybe not. but it looks so suave. its hard to determine the line between daily driver, and road course racer. you need to make sacrifices in one or the other to accomplish your goal. the rear seat saves you closer to 40lbs than the afformentioned 10 - 20 lbs. its worth it. and if you have leather, you can preserve the seats for another 20 years. and rims can save you up to 65 lbs. so right there, your curb weight rivals a much lighter v6 car.

 

everyones mentioning lightweight rims and tires, can i get some good examples? like someone mentioned the steeda ultralights, but ive heard they weight just about as much as the bullitts?
