Lightweight wheels will always be more expensive due to the higher quality.

I can see why you want them.

Compmotive's are fairly light as far as I know, look to what the rally boys use. WRC cars have huge lightweight wheels dont they?

kosei alloys are relatively lightweight compared to other brand, but they still weigh quite a bit.

If you're choosing wheels you may as well choose lightweight ones, its to go with a PSG widearch so he's not going to want to deck it on 15s!

Speedline do a variety of lightweight alloys but they dont come cheap.

I also agree that lightweight 18's are pointless. 18's are gonna slow your car down regardless.

any cheaper brand that do lightweights? can't really afford OZ and been told they offsets are not right for vauxhalls

i think so.... but still its a compensation, at least ppl av the option of goin for big alloys and not sufferin as much loss of performance due to the size of alloys.

supose so, but surely they wold still loos acceleration due to the rolling radius being bigger?

why?

heavy 17's or lightweight 18's same thing right? not losing anymore power

^^^^ :boggle:

would av thought that was obvious :P

he wants big alloys for looks, but light so he wont loose too much acceleration/top end.
