I know this has probably been asked before. I'm buying a new set of alloys. I seen some nice Enkei ones for sale. They weigh 8kg each for 15's. Is this a decent kinda weight for a 15??? thanks a lot guys and gals :D

nar i'm looking into 17's that weight 4.5kg to 5.5kg each.

for a decent 15" light weight alloys it should weight about 4.5kg.

Thats wat i was afraid of. I was gonna get a set of Konig flights which were pretty light then i was offered this set of Enkeis for £175 so i'm a lil bit torn as to wat to do. Theres no way on earth i'm gonna go back to 17"s.

I want to go down to 16" but don't know if they will fit over my brakes. I've been offered some 17" Compomotive MO's in white which is what i really want but have also been looking at 17" lightweight wheels. Don;'t know what to do :(

I wouldnt say got to 17"s. When i had them on mine the ride was gash. The handling was gash. The acceleration was gash. Everything about the car seemed to go downhill. I had them on my car for about a month and went back to the standard 14" wheels. so much better. Go for the 16"s

When i got my car it had 16" and when i swapped to 17" it actually felt better :shock:

Also, had a set of 18" at one stage but they were for a show :D

I'm really want the 17" MO's but want the 16" for handling and acceleration. Hum, decisions decisions decisions :?

Which wheels would these be? My 16x7 TE37s weigh around 5kg each.

Memski, it's a wheel which has not been released in the UK yet but i hope to be the first in the UK to have a set. My mate owns a alloy wheel company and has just come back froma massive show for dealers in Germany.

Hopefull i'll have some more news soon.

Might even do a group buy.............. 8)

Where did you get that figure from as it's 2lbs lighter than the VolkTE37s, and they seem to be the lightest I've seen so far. :shock:

TE37's aren't the lightest wheel, I know of atleast 2 others that weigh a little less, but afaik the rays are quite a strong wheel which was a major selling point for me.

Mr Gtir - sounds good, keep us updated 8)
