Beautiful setup, very jealous. Please PM me your street address.

Sadly they are likely 50% done after just 50 laps at Laguna Seca.

If I were to do this over again, I would go with Cup 2's, and get stud conversion.

Every time I take the lugs off, the wheel falls and hits the rotor heat shields and now the barrel is all scratched up.

Definitely not the best track tire - they got hot and degrade super quick (I use them for autox only and I'm lucky if I get a 1/2 season out of a set)

DM me and I'll send you a bolt tool

What's a sub 20 lb wheel that's less than $400 each?

What size? 17x8 you'd have a lot of options but as you go up in diameter and width obviously you'll start cutting down on options.

In general, a lot of the Neuspeed wheels are around 19-20 lb in 18x8.5 fitment for ~$300 a wheel. Konig Flow Formed wheels are also usually 18-19 lb for around $200/wheel.

Don't know what size you have but my Motegi Traclite are 17 lbs in a 17x7 size.

What? Under 20#? Only if you drove it against a curb for maybe three or four miles. Austin and Dallas wheels are about 26#. The Nogaro on the 17 Sport are a little under 24#. The forged Belvedere on the 21 AB are under 18# though.

I think that's what car he has?

Aha. Yes, nearly anything will be lighter. Not many things will be stronger.

18" Enki RPf1 are claimed by tire rack to be 17 pounds. Seems to good to be true. they are $290 each, silver only.

What could go wrong?

 

[510danr]

Woah. How did that happen, Bevis?

Enkei makes several wheels that are 18x8 and less than 20lbs… RPF1, TSV, TS-10, TS-9. I think they’re a very reputable company.

Neuspeed wheels coming in sizes between 18x8 and 18x9 for our car and most are less than 20lbs. The RSe10 and RSe11r are both less than 19lbs.

Konig’s 18x8 and 18x8.5 wheels for our platform are under 20lbs.

Lots of good options. Just avoid Rotiforms if you want to save weight

The first one is not all that uncommon with thin spokes. I honestly don't know what the second one could be? Seems like suspension or brake failure, really not the wheel's fault.
