Im gonna be getting some 17x8.5j or 17x9j eventually for track use with stickier rubber

Just wondering what lightweight 17's people have? Theyve got to fit over 330mm k-sports too

the mo6's are not light
they are used in rallying because they are strong
the rays i have are by far the lightest
the last pic is rota grid drifts in 18x9.5 et30
and yes, they are big

thanks mate i am shocked though as i thought a 8" rim would be too wide and rub and even more so as your'e on coilovers.

but if you could let me know the rest i would really appreciate it

thanks

All the big boys use magnesium wheels, most clubmen use Compo's because there bullet proof.

I think they weighed in at twice the weight of my pukka groupA speedlines FYI.

They make a spot on road wheel with our roads tho. LOL

Rotas are pretty light, and Team Dynamics are worth a look too 17x8 ET45 for example.

My Rotas 17x7.5 ET48 with Toyo T1R's 215/40/17

Tyres Weigh 9.36kg
Wheels Weigh 8.45kg (balanced)
STi Wheels weigh 9.73kg (balanced)
