Lightest wheels that fit the C32?
Anyone know what are the lightest wheels you can slap on a C32? Please no HRE or Fikse custom wheels that cost $1000 per corner

I've found that the lightest ones that aren't ridiculously expensive are the Enkei Tuning Raijin. Type in your make and model on Tire Rack. They weigh around 20 lbs a wheel so pretty light!

I am running the Renntech monolites. They can be found for about 2k used in good condition and are a 19lb 18" forged wheel.

I would love some new lightweight shoes but AU is terrible with range and prices. It would be tirerack and hense needs to be 100% as returns are not an option.
I love the OZ, Koneig and Forgestar (whilst dreaming of the Rentech monolites ...ho hum.

i prefer 17's and the O.Z. Ultraleggera would be a treat. Tirerack car check thing reads negative for the 32. Does that mean would I have to use spacers? Would ultimately love -staggered 17's at the less than 18lbs. Any help - as to OP request - light and reasonably priced 17's?

Don't search for C32, I think they don't have spec for a C32, but wheels that fit a C230 Sport will fit our C32's as well. They have the same larger front calipers. and the Ultraleggera's have a 35mm offset.
Apologies in advance OP have to jump on this and hijack somewhat. I am always confused with the wheel thing, I try to get my head around it but I am clearly no FrankW when it comes to this. The merc bore is 66 and hubcentric(?) mandras have that bore but nothing else other than OEM to my very limited knowledge.

Ah, those wheels, lol, ugly as all hell IMO but could be a could set for drag wheels. Only thing is I wonder how wide of a radial you could actually fit on there...

Grrr....Tirerack doesn't ship OZwheels to AU. Some sort of export agreement. They cost almost 4xtimes more than at tirerack here from a local distributor. Lazyness of freight forwarding -drop point in US and forward- ensuring packed in two seperate boxes to avoid further taxes is proving to have landed in my too hard basket. I haven't felt this unpatriotic since Saer1one's Rieger bumper kit was up for sale. Alas,have entered the green card lottery again. Any other alternatives? Enkei RPF1 seem to only be in 7.5 (@17's)....
