I want to get some light weight wheels 17"-18" less than 20lbs each. I would like to see some pics aswell as how much they were the size and where you got them from. thanks

Re: lightweight wheels? (Jimbow)

I don't know about prices but this web site has helped in determining the weights of different manufacuters.

tirerack.com http://www.tirerack.com enter your vehicle and you can see the wheel on the car. For example, O.Z. superleggera 17" wheels on a MK V gti (I think they weigh about 18 lbs).
have fun.

The problem for me is finding a good looking wheel that is light.

Cake and eat it too huh?
