Lightweight racing wheels Options

[cardshark525]

Hey guys,

Just looking ahead towards my build I wanted to get some lighter wheels for the track to mount some R compound rubber on. I came across this jem and am trying to keep 17" rims for track use: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseU...mp;autoModClar=

They are the absolute lightest wheel tirerack carries, even lighter than O.Z.'s. In 17" for a wheel to be 15.5 pounds is amazing as far as I'm concerned. For them to run $199 each is a freakin' cherry on top.

Anyone have any thoughts on these? Other options to take a look at perhaps?

I'm sure there are lighter wheels out there but not for under $1k a piece.

Kosei has very light weight wheels. The K1's are another model of theirs that is light.

I am willing to sacfrice some weight for style but if you dont mind just go with Kosei's or you can look at Enkei's RPF01's which will be pound or two heavier but may look a bit better.
There are more lightweight wheels out there that will fit in your budget but if you are trying to stay in that 15lb range just go with those K4R's
