Hey everybody! I need some input on a good set of lightweight wheels that are good for cornering.

from what i've read, the steeda ultralights are far from light.

as for lightweight wheels, i'm not sure of a good company for road racing wheels, just wanted to throw that out there.

The steeda ultralite's weigh 24 lbs, that's not bad for a 18x9.5 wheel. There not too cheap though.

I have 5 spoke Weld Evos on mine which are very light. The thing is that once the tires are mounted (275/30 x 20), they still add about 10lbs a corner. Tires are heavy! So you may want to go with 18's to keep weight down and the tires should weigh less too.

Thanks for the input...i realize that tires are heavy, cant get away from that. But, the steeda's are a little plain for me though.

Fikse makes very light weight wheels in any size you want.
