How about superleightweight forged aluminium wheels, heat treated, surface treated, powder coated in your colour, with custom offset to accomodate your brake upgrade and give you the track to go with your actual or future suspension setup for £100 each?































They dont exist! LOL

You can either get reasonably light for a certain price, heavy for little money, or superlightweight and strong for lots of money, but you cant get all you want for close to no money it's the way it is, you know and very good and light wheels will need importing from Japan as far as I am aware... sorry!

Hi does any one have any good recommendations on/or were to find
really light wheels for the Impreza in 16" or 17"(Sub 7kg)

I know OZ has some..but there must be some other's ..


Please help..if you can

Claudius

Yes, I do

I wasnt aware of that. Since when?

.. all I know of are those fragile "Superleggeras" which arent even that light, but cheap.

Claudius

You'll find them in Japan or through a Japanese parts importer

What's wrong with Super-L's? Are they really that dodgy? Shame - I fancied a set of those.

I know OZ have had quality control issues with recent batches, but that should be temporary. Is your criticism of the wheels due to design or manufacture?

Claudius

Hi Fatman,

I have seen and heard of failed Superleggeras. Bent or broken wheels. I think it is down to the manufacturing process. I have heard that they would correct the problem as well, but I wouldnt touch those; imagine if one fails on me when it shouldnt?! Not taking that risk! Even if the problem is sorted. Just not worth it.

Fatman

Hmm... that's a shame. OK - I need to look elsewhere.

Same question - I'd like some reasonably lightweight wheels, but in anthracite/graphite/dark grey colour. Suggestions? I'm not after the lightest of the light (not a race car), so no import-only specials. Unless they're ludicrously cheap

What about the lightweight forged wheels on the TSL website? I've seen 'em, and they look good too?

Aww shucks... you mean I can't get the invisibility-finish helium-filled honeycombe structure £20/corner deal? Damn... I was counting on that . Oh well.

Cheers... I'll have a look at the TSL wheels.
