Imagine my shock and surprise to find Gramlights going for $4k a set with rubber on The Ebays... can anyone think of some low cost, low weight rims that will look good on our cars?

Lols that's not the point of the topic...and a balanced car is often funnier (but maybe slower on track) than an highly one way upgraded car... Anyways, as someone already told the O.Z. Allegerita are surely a good choise, its are not to expansive ( i think, here in Italy you can have them in 17x8j for 800-850€) and light enought for the cost...An advice, if you see momo alloy ask for the real weight on the official site. I bought 4 momo REV 17x7.5j, the seller told me its were 6.5kg each and its are 9kg each, preaty heavy... Have you tried Rota? not too expansive, not to heavy, surely nice looking, if i'm right its are work replicas, don't remember atm... |
