Im getting tired of my 18" with these big bulky 245 45 tires. I want something fresh and lightweight. Any suggestions?

I like these a lot 17*7 will do then on 235 40 tires. How about the bolt pattern?

What is your price point?

Enkei is good bang for the buck. I see a lot of those RPF1s out there.

I like the look of the Gram Lights both 5 and 6 spoke (I think these are called 57)

If you can find some 350z track wheels -- they are 18s, but light and forged.

I had some Centerline RPM wheels that were 17x7 +42 and I weighed them at almost exactly 14 lbs each. They don't make them in black pearl anymore, but they are very light. I hit a couple of steel plates in a road and ruined two of them.

How bout some Altima SE-R they're 18x8 and only 18lbs each. Not the easiest to find or the cheapest but they're worth it you could probably score some for around $1000 w/ tires... if you can find some. Heres a pic.
