Shopping cart wheels are the lightest.
Umm... Matchbox or Hotwheels?
Have you seen the video some guys did where they welded a bunch of cart wheels onto an actual car wheel?
maybe wooden wheels?
Perfect for my Honda
Micro machines. Anybody remember those.
90’s babies know wassup
I'm running some motegis mr127 and they really brought the car to life and made the drive so much more inspiring 👐🙏
*If money were no object..Carbon Revolution wheels would be the lightest you could possibly get.*
You can for 20'000$ each 😂
If it would work, they would've used that in motosport. By now they use wheels made out of magnesium which also isnt cheap.
@@starydwumas7481 In most series, wheel need to be made of homogeneous metallic material. That's why you see magnesium wheels and not carbon.
No, Litespeed RS5's.
@@Blakelikesfood I'm getting the Litespeed RS5RR magnesium monoblock for my 370Z in a couple of months :)
Here's a challenge, do a video without talking about the TE37🤣🤣🤣
And they did. They still mentioned Volk/Rays, though.
Muammar Gibran check 1:48
or the RPF1's, i don't know why they still make them. Every possible size, offset, etc is already out there lmao.
@@Telexic they're such an eyesore. The hypergrams look so much better
@@blubase06 nah
I recently installed a set of Advan Racing RS2’s on my Audi S4. I decided to go for the same size as stock because rotational inertia is a function of both weight and radius. Since the majority of the mass of a wheel is in the barrel, buying a larger diameter wheel will increase rotational inertia and gyroscopic forces. The stock 18x8 B8.5 Audi S4 wheel weighed 12.7kg (28lb) and the RS2 18x8 weighed 8.1kg (17.85lb), that’s a saving of 4.6kg (10.1lb) per corner. I went for a fast drive up the Crown Range (an awesome mountain road near Wanaka New Zealand) and I have to say I noticed a difference. It wasn’t an insane difference but the car definitely felt more responsive to driver inputs. Steering was sharper and the car felt “pointier” when going through tight switchbacks and acceleration seemed a bit quicker and more responsive. I didn’t do any really hard braking so I didn’t notice much of a difference. The car would’ve probably looked a bit cooler with 19’s but I like the functional race car look of having a decent amount of tyre. Obviously you don’t want a huge side wall because then it’ll roll and you’ll lose steering feel and sharpness but you also don’t want a tiny side wall because the tyre needs to be able to conform to the road surface to maximise grip on surfaces that aren’t perfectly smooth. If you’re looking for lightweight wheels, also remember that radius is also important when trying to reduce rotational inertia and gyroscopic forces. The linear motion of the suspension won’t be affected by diameter, only mass. TMIAE
Nice. I am also going from 18x8 12+kg to 18x8 8,1kg. But still tyres can also have a noticeably difference in weight. I know my 234/45/18 fulda sportcontrol are 9,6kg a piece. I want to go for goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric5 but dont know the weight on those.
tony1967ify Imagine a triangle with light-cheap-strong on the corners. You can only pick 2. If you’re lucky you could find a set of light and strong wheels second hand to get a deal but you’ll have to keep a lookout. That’s how I got my Advan RS2’s. They were $1500 NZD for a set of 4 and they were in mint condition. Normally they would be $800 each.
Some lightweight and strong wheels to keep an eye out for: OZ Racing Ultraleggera, ENKEI RP03, any Advan, Konig Hypergram, Volk Racing TE 37. None of these are cheap so you have to find a deal on them.
I have the oz alleggerita wheels, have had them for 3 years and the first thing I noticed was the weight. Huge difference compared to OEM wheels and get lots of attention. Definitely recommend them
Looking for them right now for my mx5 nbfl, want an 16 inch with 7J. Thing should be around 6,2kg, which to me is very light!
Mine is arriving today. Did you ceramic coat yours when you got them?
Found some 17x9 ssr competition type c at 14.8 without tires on craigslist, couldn’t be happier
Great video dude, i like the subject. Could it be longer next time ? =)
Speedline Corse?
OZ?
Team Dynamics?
They ain't here and they all great brands for light wheels
OZ
He forgot the best and lighest, the OZ ULTRALEGGERA, 6kg..
Straight to the point no bs. I like this.
I like my wedssport sa10r. 18x8.5, around 18.5lbs. I paid $1400 for all 4 so they were a bit more expensive than the competition but I love the weight savings and I love the look. Really underrated wheel that doesn't get much attention. When I was doing my research, I noticed that gramlights really weren't all that light. They were easily 23-25lbs per wheel at 18x9.5. They are definitely cast not forged. If you want lightweight, you either need to go forged and pay a ton for it, go with RPF1s which everyone and their wife has, or to go lower in size. TE37s definitely have the prestige behind them. They are a really awesome wheel but pricey as hell.
Love the SA10Rs! I had a set of 18x9.5 +45 on my '17 STi. Really good looking and saved me about 4lbs/wheel over the stock Enkeis.
Litespeed Racing RS5RR forged magnesium monoblock wheels are a good choice. My 19" set weigh about 14 lbs each. Add s set of lightweight Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and you'll be saving a good 13 lbs off of forged aluminum wheels and tires.
Love my Hypergrams. 18X8.5 at 17lbs is awesome.
Finally, someone who doesn't say "see you later, peace." Haha... no joke.
You forgot about Some cool wheels from OZ Racing like the Alleggerita Hlt or the evergreen Superleggera
Pietro Facchini I thought my HLT Leggera’s were pretty light
@@silversentrav i've got a set of Superturismo WRC and they're not so light
16" oz chronos with 8.5kg is what im using
Try and pickup a set of forged wheels from Rays and you will see what light weigh actually is :)
@@pietrofacchini2984 they are cast wheels. Got them in 17x7 ET45 i think and they were 9,3kg just like the swift sport 2006-2010 wheel which was 7x6,5 ET50. (2011-2017 model had even lighter wheels) For a cast those are lightweight.
please do a video on the types of wheels and what they mean, for example Step lip, reverse lip, full reverse lip etc. thanks!
No Wedssports? How do you make a video about light wheels and not mention Wedssport tc105n or tc105x?
And TC005 😘
Quick question, I have a 14 wrx hatch and I'm looking at wheels. I'm thinking of going with a 18 by 9.5 with a 30 mil offset and 265/40 18 tires...would that with without rubbing or what should I change?
Hello, Shoot us an email at wheels@fitmentindustries.com and we can help you with your questions!
No mention of the lightest wheel there is (excluding carbon fiber) the volk ce28n. I have a set in 14" for a very small car obviously, they weigh an astonishing 6.5lbs.
😳
Damn everyone sleeping on the regamaster evo 2 or the knockoff rota slipstream.. also xxr offers some forged wheels now too. the 527f is right around 19lbs for an 18x10
Felt like this video could have had wayyy more effort put into it or been made a mini series across a few different car platforms/studpatterns/sizes
They listened!! Awesome
How much do the 18x7.5 or 18x8 rpf1 weigh? Or the Konig hypergram same size
Ive been wondering about for a long time
Can you do a review on Blitz wheels?
Need a super light recommendation for my 2016 c7.5 audi s6. Preferably in 19" or 18" that can hold the big front calipers
What's the music?
Edit: Thank you very much for highlighting my comment.
Have OZ on one car. Just about as light as the enki. Look nicer but a lot more money.
My other car has ssr type c. I got a crazy deal on them. Full price they are way expensive. Think I paid half.
Thank you !
Serious inquiry for Fitment Industries;
Looking for light weight rims for my 2017 honda civic hatch ex 18's? And good tires for them
where can i find Racing Hart CPF Tune R??
thank you.
I’m looting at getting Motegi MR131 in 18x9 +35 anyone know their weight?
Im litterally looking at rpf1s as this video poped up
Waiting for a history on Kumho!
Alex grew a beard reaaaally fast
any opinion on the superleggera 5x100 17 et35?
My hayashi commands are 13lbs for a 3 piece 14x7 and my impul are 17lbs for 14x7 3 piece and my long champs are 16lbs for 14x6.5
Another Enkei...pf07 18x10 et38..could you please tell me what's the weight on those? I see they are Enkei Racing series wheels and uses MAP, but I can't find any data on weight!
Only thing I have been able to find is a rumored weight of 18.67 pounds!
@@FitmentIndustries That is on par with RPF1s...pretty damn legit...thanks for the info
Too bad they discontinued the ssr type c. Had those back in the day...lighter than te37 with its semi-solid forging technology.
When I was looking for stuff for my new small truck they didn't have anything on the website :(
Www.Customoffsets.com I promise they have what you are looking for 😉
@@FitmentIndustries Thanks
No BBS RG/RK/RC, Apex ARC8, ATS Racelight, Motec Nitro, OZ Alleggerita, Pro Track One, Fuchs Alloys etc etc.... You really disappointed me.... :-(
Have no fear! We might be doing a part 2 👀
@@FitmentIndustries all right :-) Lookin forward to a pretty awesome Video :-D
Cheers from Germany
Jasper with a beard is a cool dude
Imagine an rpf1 of 13" or 12", with a weight of just 2 or 3 kilos per wheel... at the end you could have a total weight of around 10-12 kg with tires on... and then smaller brakes, shorter suspensions, arms, etc... It could quit amount of weight, and then removing other things, just leaving or adding reinforcement in the right and crytical places of the chassis. Dynamic should just a lil bit amazing, with just 100-200 bhp.
What's your opinion on the Enkei TY-5 or Enkei TS-10?
Personally like the TY-5 but that is just me!!! - Erik
If you have a white car, get the ts10 in the copper finish. Looks amazing in that color. Getting those in 18x9.5 +35 for my sti.
Watanabe are made out of magnesium cost a leg and a arm but very lightweight for 17 x8 +40 you are at 12.7lbs
U have an nc mx5 and looking on the interwebs, I learned that the original 17" eheels that I have are around 7.7 kg. Which is already really light and this makes my job in finding a lighter wheel so much harder. I badically have not much other options than the rpf1's.
Our Anovia Kano is also a good option!
Have you guys done a rally wheels video yet? or do you guys have a market for them?
We have not but a great suggestion!!
What about the discontinued 5zigen fno1rc?
I'm thinking Enkei rpf1 15" to my E30 it seems to be amazingly light in the size under 10 lbs or then Alpina style 16" but those are 50% heavier
For my s550 my wheels arent too bad 19x10/11 sve s350s they claim 24 and 25lbs
What! NO mention of Wedssport TC105? Lighter than all the wheels mentioned
Plz make a vid about 7th gen maxima
Ayyyyyy, I'm planning on getting some hypergrams
BET! 🔥
@@FitmentIndustries any recommendations for some tires to go on them? I'm getting 17x8 with +40 on a 2017 86, preferably all season tires :)
How many make a 18x8 with a 5x110 bolt patern? Light weight.

So I’m looking to get some kosei K1’s for a civic. How are those in comparison? I’ve seen them on civic builds before so I’d imagine they’re good
They are!
@@FitmentIndustries are they light? The Honda enkei branded 14” wheels I’ve got are already pretty decent and those are my current set up
No wedssport tc105n’s??? Lighter than all those wheels at 18lbs
My point exactly. Didn't mention the "racing" Motegi weight...just a channel for their store.
Part 2.!? 👀
@@FitmentIndustries Definitely a part 2. On top of my head are Oz superforgiata and bbs forged magnesium wheels.
When he says "designed for the track" will they be strong enough to take the abuse of street roads and these crazy pot holes that we come by with our dailys?
Track wheels are generally much stronger compared to a normal cast wheel.
More than enough...track wheels go through a lot more stress and abuse
I'm getting a set of forged magnesium monoblock wheels for my 370Z from Litespeed Racing in LA. The front wheels are 19" x 9" and will weigh 14 lbs, with the 19" x 10" rears weighing 15 lbs. These will take 8 to 9 lbs off of the Rays forged aluminum wheels that came on my car, the sport model. In about 6 months when I have a brake job, I'm going to replace my steel one piece brake rotors with a set of Akebono two-piece rotors with aluminum hats. I will be taking another 10 lbs off the front corners and 5 lbs off the rears. I'm expecting my suspension dynamics to improve significantly. i'm already running Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires which are much better than the OEM Bridgestone Potenza tires the car came with.
Goddamn that is an expensive setup to be on a 370 holy shit you ain't playing around
you forgot the oz ultraleggera 16". their 15 lbs each
I want to know about mst wheels can there be a video about that
Rigo Hernandez pretty sure they already made a video on mst
Why don't you list the wheels weights on your website?
Fair amount of information for our data to process with all of the different wheel sizes and such but it is something that we are currently working on as it is heavily demanded!
been rocking the motegi tracklite's for 4 years now. my 235 17 45 weigh 17.6lbs (i know he didnt wanna mention the wight cause it would blow the others out the water) haha.
So underated wheel. I see why they are trying to hide it
Why do these all seam so heavy! Where are all of the 8-10 pound wheels at? Those would actually be light though I’m sure each wheel would be a 1,000 but this video isn’t about cheap wheels!
Rpf1s goat for non CZcamsr enthusiasts.
i wish Wedssport would get with the times and make 19s!!!...their Tc105x in an 18x8 +45 is just 16.24lbs...RPF-1s are 18.0lbs in the same size/offset and the lightest wheels ive found for under $900 each. (Tc105x is $498 a piece)
Where are all the like 8-10 pound wheels at, these all seam heavy
Light weight truck wheels please. If you guys could add wheel weights to the site that'd be awesome.
volk te37's come in 6x139 and the 5 lug tundra pattern
@@alecparkes5036 point me in the direction of anything remotely JDM or EDM in a 5x5.5(139.7) Ram 1500. 17" and as thicc as possible with dirt nasty - offset.
@@mylesswann530 lodio drive might make something like that, but they're usually 16 and smaller and you would probably have to re lip them. see them on toyota's lots.
@@alecparkes5036 thank you, definitely looking for something like this. Smallest i can go is a 17"" for caliper clearance and tire options that aren't A/Ts or M/Ts i need street or H/Ts
@@alecparkes5036 that and neg offsets, im sitting at a +19 stock, but these JDM Vintage wheels are sexy, i really don't want to run spacers if possible.
Superspeed has a set of wheels in the 18lbs range as well as artisa also has some cheaper products
What about Wedssports TC105X?
Nice, but all more than twice as heavy as the lightest rims...
No mention of ssr type c?
No love for the ssr typeC
Right I was thinking the same. I love mine. Maybe cause they dont sell them
No love for the WedsSports NT105 either
@@ericbinder2165 those aren't cheap
I mentioned them above. I got them new for like half price. Full price they are crazy expensive.
Perfect, I’m looking for some wheels for my GTI
Oz allegeritas, shedding about 80Kg sprung weight
Best e46 wheel
my freind just said haveing a wrap on your cars gives u 5 more hp
you should tell him how much stickers add!!!
idk if I'm being stupid here but a set of Konig Hypergram (4 wheels?!) for 547$???
over here in europe you pay 300-450$ PER WHEEL Dx
The ones for $500 weren’t bad for the price, doesn’t justify paying 3k for the same weight rims, when your not rich.
You should put advan GT vs. te37 instead since they are both fully forged.and enkei rpf1 vs. Konig hypergram (both flowformed). The advan GT is lighter than te37 in same spec size wheel due to less spokes.the rpf1 is 1lb lighter than hypergram but hypergram have more access/room if u have BBK
I have Advan GT in order in 18x8.5+45 and I’m eager to weigh them, I haven’t been able to find an exact weight for that specific size anywhere online.
I used to have a set of TE37SL in 18x9+45 (to the best of my recollection) on a precious car, and they weight right under 18 pounds..
I feel like the RPF1 really are the best bang for the buck, unless I‘m missing something.
@@X11CHASE RPF1 if u have tiny brake calipers. hypergram is the new design that will allow BBK. Only 1lb difference in weight in the same specs size

Do truck wheels! Please lol
“You’re going to want a lightweight wheel for the track and to go fast” I just got them so young peeps say “check out that guys dope ass rims” when I be getting coffee or visiting the supermarket. These rims ain’t seeing no track 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
weds tc105x?
Just ordered hyper gram with pilot sports a/s
Was able to order a set of TE37 Saga for $3k shipped, problem is we ordered them 7 months ago and they're still not here, ugh.

yeah but they're not 18x10.5 like the ones in the video
What's the difference between a track wheel and a street wheel???
Street wheel is cast, track wheels are Forged
@@kenworth3 Don't think it's that simple, mate.
I'm pretty sure there are some impact/strength tests in there too. Just because a wheel maybe forged, doesn't automatically make it strong. Same thing with multi-piece wheels vs one piece. A while back I had heard (some) HRE wheels were banned from HPDE events due to wheels breaking. HRE are great, expensive, stylish wheels but still have flaws.
Also, some wheels can be light and strong but they will deform under certain impact conditions vs cracking.
Advan also makes great lightweight wheels for the price, and all of their irl track racing wheels are wheels you can buy yourself for less than te37s.
Aww wish this was 15mins long...
Kosei K1 and Advan also very light
The Motegi part starts at 1:31
Konigs ftw 🔝
AMPLIFORMS!
