Due to a small accdent involving snow and a kerb I need some 15" alloys for my R! Cost not important but theres just too much choice?
Rally/jap style mainly!
Any recommendations?

While we're on the subject of new wheels, here's the one's I'm thinking about?

Thanks for your suggestions guys-went down to SWT today and was told the wheels I originally wanted would fit my car with some 3mm spacers which I'm happy with. Here's a picture of when I was trying them out to see if they looked OK -

They don't weigh more than 4,7kg per rim in 17"!! :shock: Any lighter?
How much do the superleggeras weigh?

Do you have a link to back that up? I can't find any mention of a superlight yet and the K1s that are listed are heavier than Volk TE37s by a couple of Kilos. If they're that light, I've found my new wheels. :wink:

Also try RS Watanabe EightSpoke, very very light. Reckon'd to be lighter than a CE28N or TE37 though they look a bit :roll: kinda minilight look.



Also the SSR-Type C RS is regarded as probably one of the lightest jap wheel. A 16×7.0J on 42 offset weights in at a massive 4.99kg :shock:
