Light weight wheels

[A_Cochise]

What is a good weight for wheels when running our SN95's on track? Coming from VW/Audi I used some Neuspeeds that were just over 20lbs. It was insane how much lighter the wheels were compared to stock and how the car felt. Stock wheels for my mk6 GTI were every bit of 30 lbs a peice.

They were 18x8 and came in at 20.75 lbs. What can I expect to find to find for our cars without going through the custom build-to-spec route?

I'm looking at these from Cosmis Racing and they come in at 20-22lbs depending on the source. Which sounds reasonable.

Any resources are appreciated. Thank you.

A lot of folks run the OE 17” wheels on track, as they are readily available and cheap. The 99-04 GT wheel is a popular choice for a light wheel but the 98 cobra wheel clears a lot of front big brake setups.

(These are my actual measurements)
98 Cobra wheel : 21.6 lb
99-04 GT starfish: 22 lb
01-04 Bullitt wheel (anthracite) : 22.4 lb
99/01 Cobra wheel (silver) : 22.5 lb
01 Cobra, 03/04 GT wheel (polished): 22.5 lb
94-97 Cobra wheel : 22.5 lb
2004 Cobra 10th anniv: 23.8 lb
2003-2004 Mach 1: 25.3 lb
2003-2003 Cobra (satin): 25.5 lb


Sounds like you are looking for an 18” aftermarket wheels. I have a cosmis XT-005r and I think I have the weight around here somewhere

Edit: 23.4lb for an 18x9
