Default NEW LIGHT WIEGHT Wheels

So, I just found out for sure that my wheels are 25lbs!!! for a 15" wheel! So I wanted some suggestions for lightweight wheels under 500 dollars.

Thanks for the link. do the rota's come in 15x7? I don't like the look of the hanbi's much, but for the price they are amazingly light I love the circuit 8's...if only they came in 15x7.

SSR type-C's are fantastic...but theyre hella expensive.

I am beginning to like the Rota Sub-zeros; they kinda look like Z06 wheels.

one question, will a 15x7 tire fit on a 15x6.5 wheel?

The maximum width for the 5.5-inch wide wheel is a 205/50/15.
