    Lightweight wheels

    Been looking at the VOLK TE37, 8.8 lbs per wheel

    They look as though they are like rocking horse shit to get hold of in the UK.

    Found a couple of companies in teh US which i've emailed, and also a chap who sells them on ebay



    All comming up at around £200 per wheel from the US, plus shipping ofc

    Not really suitable for british roads though mate. First pothole and they'd be like a 50p piece. Fine if there only gonna be track day wheels though

    RSI wheels are only 6.8 and you have a set of them...get some low profile tyres on and accleration will be better than any 15...

    if u remove 2 wheel bolts from each wheel u will save weight, also take the dust caps off and remove all them little rubber bits that stick out on tyres, u could take the centre caps off to, maybe kerb them all the take a layer of alloy/paint off
