Default Lighter Rims ???

Does anyone know which Rims would be lighter than the Stock 17's, but strong enough for daily use?

Stock ones are pretty light. Unless you get some forged wheels, but those cost a lot.

These are some of the lightest wheels I have been able to find. A little bit too expensive for me though. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...amp;sort=Brand

Check edgeracing.com - they have many light weight options. Enkei offers their "racing series" which are all light wt. As mentioned above, the RPF1 Enkei's are very nice, lots of guys use them for autoX and road racing. I have three sets of wheels - stock 17" (~26lbs), American Muscle bullit 18"x9 (28.9lbs)and 5Zigen FN01R 17"x9(17lbs). I use the 5Zigens for AutoX - so yea, they can stand up to DD.

SSR makes some really nice light weight wheels - but they are pretty pricey.
