Anybody know a place that makes them? They'd be 4x114.3, I don't really care what they look like. An offset below 40 would be nice.

hmm. Yeah those koseis are nice. I wish they had them in 17x8 and 17x8.5. that would be my ideal setup.

these arent them, koseis are going to be my street wheels

either before or after my turbo, im getting them for track wheels...lets just say theyre 16x8 +22, forged, and weigh 12.9 lbs a piece...and everybody knows them just almost nobody has them

just have to decide if wheels or turbo are going to happen first

koseis come in 16 and 17x7.5 and 8.5, but none are made anymore, now you have to buy the identical buddy clubs for 3x as much

I havent even really been able to find those Buddy Clubs in good offsets. All I ever come up with is +40 and up for fwd cars. A lot of places carry the p2 series, but ordering those in good widths and offsets are expensive as well.

buddy club p1 racing, mine are the 16x7.5 +22

if i got anything expensive buddy club wise it would be those p1 racing QF's, theyre pretty much the lightest wheels you can buy without getting into the special alloy racing wheels they use in f1 and stuff

kei office ksce are pretty light. offset under 40 availablei dont have the exact 16x8 weight but 17x8 weighs 13.25lbs. which makes it lighter than p1 qf in that size

im not liking the p1's spokes. thin spokes look dangerous compared to mesh or fatter spoke wheels. but that's probably what's making it light compared to other wheels. the ssrs look a little thicker

the site i was looking at didnt have kei office wheels, but that is light

as for the spokes ive accidentally gone through some pretty bad potholes and mine are fine, could be cause i have 16s

i do know people though whove said youll hurt another wheel just as quickly as these, that youd have to hit a curb or something to worry about it

mesh wheels are normally heavier than their 5, 6, or however many spoked counterparts, i personally think the volk gt-u is the best looking wheel out there but ill take performace over looks

one more thing you could do to find 16x8's is go to the site i was getting my weight info from, in the faq, wheelwieghts.net

use the search by size button on the left, scroll down until you get 16x8, then find one you like
