Looking to buy some lightweight Alloys for my Alfa 156 - I don't have an Impreza (yet) but other forums don't seem to be concerned about the weight of a wheel!

Size: 17 by 7 (8 max) with 5 bolts and a PCD of 100 (98 really but I'll use wobbly bolts)

OZ Superleggeras seem to be the lightest but there seems to be a supply problem with them as with Toora Competizione / T690 wheels.

Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 wheels are also quite light.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks

Team Dynamics are quite light and very reasonably priced.I've just got some for my scoob-4 wheels for 416.00 quid inc.delivery. (I know you have another make of the car).
Good luck and check out Team Dynamics website!

Depends how lightweight you want to go, if money is no expense and you can wait a couple of months then I would suggest Rays Volk racing wheels, TE37's. I have these 16x7" on my Gti-R and they weigh around 5kg each.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I did see an advert for Carbon Fibre Alloys - The hub was alloy and the rim carbon fibre and meant to be 25% lighter than a light alloy wheel

I found this site very helpful http://www.wheelweights.net

Not much to touch the Superleggera for price / avalability.

I've got three sets of Superleggeras, one in each colour. So I guess that's my suggestion... Reason: unsprung weight and availability.

MTS Summer
Race Silver Winter
Race Gold Street Slicks

Superleggeras seem the recommended choice then (money as always being a concern).

wheelweights.net is a good site but getting out of date and missing brands not imported to the the USA

Where's the cheapest place to buy them (with tyres)
