stock wheel weight 27-28lbs.
light weight aftermarket wheels you can get SSR, HRE, DCR, DPE, Iforge, BBS, etc. Pretty much most modular wheel brands will have some light wheel applications.
contact me if you have any interest in any of them. We also have Carlsson, Brabus, Lorinser wheels available.

also, anyone know much about FLIK wheels? i never heard of them until recently. I read some wheel forums or what not, people say that they are pretty good, and no one had any problems with them. the only thing i heard was that some guy bought some wheel that suposed to weigh like 12 pounds, and when he got it it weighted more like 15 or something.

Good wheel for say track use or as a spare BUT the flix wheels are not strong enough for daily driving. They will dent easily but at the price they go for it wont make you want to cry. If you buy a wheel from them that is graphite the paint will chip off very easily and it will look pretty ugly.
But for the price its one hell of a light wheel. Just not all that strong.
