Any Light 18" Wheels That Don't Look Cheesy?

I'd like to get some very light forged, one piece, no lip wheels that don't take months to get (Volks) or look ricey (Advans). I'm leaning towards the CCW C10's but can't get a firm number on the weights. Any other forged 18's that I should consider?

CCW make incredible wheels.
Very strong, but not sure how much they weigh, I know that they are very light though.

I would highly suggest you look into the HRE COMP and the R40 series.

Those HRE wheels are light but mesh wheels just don't appeal to me.

The R40 Series has a mesh style and straight spoke, R43.

The R43 look great! Very similar to the CCW C10's I have on my short list.

The R43 is based off the wheel we build for Fall Line Motorsport who has been racing on our wheels for several seasons, including several first place wins.

So our R40 Series has been rigorously tested on and off the track.





Rhys Millen also uses our wheels on his rally-x vehicle, just image the punishment he puts on the wheels.

Both those HRE rims look the goods. I particularly like the R43.

Ohh man I totally forgot about these bad boys!
Definitely, some of the baddest wheels out there.

AMGeez, if you like these wheels then contact Vivid Racing.
They can get these wheels for you and they are very limited.

To be honest I really don't know how long it takes to get them.
I think it would be best if you called (or PM) Vivid Racing and asked them.

You should take a look at the vendor listing on this forum and go to the ACG site and write Peter, he will hook you up.

They posted something on their black a while back about 20" versions...but not sure if they will come in other sizes. I saw the blog post and thought the same thing, I hope they come in the same sizes as the F14s.
