Need some advice on cheap, lighter wheels

[SR20 Inside]

I am going to def. get the oz superleggera but I figured that I could save some money and put some cheap wheels on that are fairly light weight compared to like the motegis that weigh 20lbs+, in the mean time so I can start working on my turbo setup. If you know of a cheap, fairly light weight and not too ugly please let me know. Much appreciated.

I really like these Axis wheels. I like the VPD's in gunmetal. The NEo's are cool too. Ill probably be getting a set of the VPD's this month.=) May be worth it for you to take a look at them. They wiegh about 15-16 lbs.

hey double O i really like those VPDs in gunmetal i been saving for quite awhile to get them for my p10 they are really nice, what color is your G? mine is maroon i though gunmetal would go perfect... sorry for being a little off topic i just got excited when somebody else mentioned those wheels :lick:

My G is silver. I think gunmetal looks sweet on silver cars. It would look tight on maroon too. I am hoping to order some this week. If I do I will let you know how they look.

91Maxima, My Uncles last name is Ohai. He teaches history and has been the head wrestling coach there for a while. If you have friends that go there, Im sure they know him, he is one of the nicest/coolest guys around.

What size are you looking at?

Rotas are fairly light and inexpensive.

Don't trust all their numbers, I found a few typos

Axis VPDs are the antithesis of cheap. Strong and pretty light, yes; cheap, hell no. Rotas are an excellent choice, though, and most styles are available in 4*114.3mm bolt pattern. Mach III (http://www.machiii.net/) has a pretty good selection of them, too.

that name sounds familiar, I was on the wrestling team in junior high.... I'll ask some of my friends, thats pretty cool though.
About the wheels I figured why spend half as much on a wheel I don't really want, I might as well go for the ones I really want or I am going to regret getting them in the first place. Im having some weird problems with my jic setup and my wheels catch the fender in the rear every once in a while so my buddy let me put his 195's on in the rear and it seemed to solve the problem. So I think I'm just going to go for the OZ superleggera's.

btw my car is gold/champagne so its hard to get wheels to look good, I think I have to stick with a silver

SSR makes the lightest wheel around for the price I think... It isn't gonna be the cheapest but they are cheaper than other outfits like Fikse, HRE and Kinesis!

[CowboyDren]

I'm pretty damned sure that the SSR Comp isn't lighter than the Centerline RPM. I'm also pretty damned sure that there is no SSR Comp with a 4*114.3mm bolt pattern.

[Chris]

you may well be right.... I never looked into it myself...

..but had them before in 4x100 bolt pattern... and then in 5x100...

....I forgot how unpopular the G20 bolt pattern is.. sorry...
