Does anyone know of a light 18-19 inch wheel? Lighter than our stock OEM one but in a 18-19 in? Preferably 19 in? I know our stock one is around 24-26 lbs. Thanks!
P.S. What's the best online site to buy these wheels from?

What about 19x8.5 Tenzo Concept 10 wheels?
Re: Wheel Weight
not bad i guess, how much they weigh? what are you going for? Performance? If yes get lightweight 17's, best weight and tons of really good performance tires. IMHO, any bigger is for show or to look good :/

Re: Wheel Weight
If you're looking for weight savings then try looking for forged wheels. There are many high-quality low-weight cast wheels (Work CR Kai), but it sounds like forged is the way to go.SEismyG wrote:What about 19x8.5 Tenzo Concept 10 wheels?
Gramlight 57, Advan RG, SSR Comp C. Very light and expensive, look for used.

lightweight 17's will be much cheaper than forged aluminum and with a modest drop won't look bad at all. I partially agree with wade on the size, anything larger than 17 or 18 at the most that aren't forged are more for looks than performance. Nothing wrong with that, just depends on how you want the car to handle. My forged 19's only weigh 21.2 pounds each which is pretty light for 19's and they handle amazing, but that being said my winter 16's (stock 2.5s wheels) feel lighter and give me a 1-3mpg boost on highway driving.
