looking for bigger wheels for autoxing that are 17 or 18 by 10 to put all around on my car....

I don't want the crappy replicas because there heavy, and I don't really care about looks.......I just want the right thinkness and the lighter the better.....

anyone find any or look at them ???

for an 05 mustang...so i think a 35mm offset would be nice...

Steeda is the only brand I've seen advertised as lightweight while still being reasonably priced. You could go with the Fiske that come on the FR500C, but they're $1000 each.

Fiske and Steeda's all claim light weight but the all come in at 25lbs to 30lbs!! Having said that, Ford Racing uses them, so I guess it's okay for them.

You have to look at the brand Racing Hart to really find a true light weight wheel that fits our cars. They make 18s and 19s that come in between 16lbs and 18lbs.

Tire Rack, of all places, had a wheel on closeout for our cars that was an 18x9 that weighed 18lbs. That's the best I've seen in maintstream.

I am still amazed that the Ford GT wheel with their $999 price tag and performance intent come in at 28lbs or so!!! But I guess when you have well over 500hp and a space frame it doesn't matter as much, heh.

Go to tirerack... they list all the weights. I went with ASA's, there about three pounds lighter then stock.

My CCW 19" SP500s weigh in @ 17lbs per wheel.

And they are true race wheels, well sort of. They are forged T6061 Aluminum, strong as heel and look awesome with the high quality workmanship and shine.
