Super Lite Wheels? - Toyota Yaris Forums

jdium · 07-28-2007, 03:26 PM

What are the lightest wheels out there? I'm going with 16's, 15's if they really kick ass. Anyone got pics of some real world rims that are feather lite? I say real world cuz there is no magnezium/carbon fiber $11,000 each rim budget for me

Thanks

Konig Heliums!! 10.8 pounds each on 15" size and less than $400 for the set.

RS-Watanabe Cyclones - forged magnesium, under 9lbs each in 15x7 +35

I believe these are the only 4-lug set in the country. These wheels where only made for 6 months and then discontinued. Very few in existence.

They can be yours for $1400 with new 205/50/15 Toyo RA1's

Or the TE37 15x5.5 only 7.9lbs :)

Aspec actually have a set of CE28's in 15x7 in stock (gold) and I weighed them on the postal scale, they came out to 9.6lbs. each. The TE's in same size would be a little bit heavier according to Rays. 5.5" width is a little small for me

I you guys only knew how much these sold for when they where new

The wheels used to retail for over $800 EACH! and the RA1 tires aren't cheap either ($160 each). Total retail would have been over $3800

BTW, brand new authentic center caps are included :)

I've heard good things about Motegi Traklites, and have been looking into getting a set for myself. They may not be the lightest or the cheapest, but they're strong and have a nice balance of the three.

If you're going for sheer weight, you can't go wrong with the TE-37, IMHO (assuming price isn't an issue).

Personally, I think I may go with 15" Kosei K1s when I get my Yaris.

I bought my 16's rotas for $490 and buying this wed some Falken azeni for about $350
