Help deciding on lightweight wheels.

I think I've got it narrowed down to the ones below. If it was your choice which would you choose? Please feel free to add more lightweight wheel options as well. I've always loved the Enkei RPF1 and they are also the lightest listed, but Man I just don't see them complimenting the C43.
All the wheel weights listed are from an 18x8.5x18 despite what it may say . My personal favorite is first pic. However the weight is a huge turnoff. But having said that we're saving 40 pounds of wheel weight Be noticeable? Would I see any changes in 0 to 60 times?








I wasn't able to find any Mercedes with the Enkei RPF1

Vorsteiner V-FF 108 and 105

My vote is TSW or Enkei (assuming you can find a staggered or squared Enkei setup that works). I know a few on this board have had good results with TSW.

TSW makes amazing wheels - however, at 26lbs that wheel is not necessarily light. You really want to aim for 20 lbs/wheel if you want to have a noticeable difference over stock.

I run interlagos - discontinued now? not sure. But these were my weights: front 2019 18 inch wheel and tire at 54 lbs. TSW aftermarket 19's with bigger tires (in both diameter and width) weighed in at 42.9

So I've decided that the Vorsteiners v-ff 110 by far my favorite And of course they only make them in 20" and up😐 But a 20x10 was only 22.3 lbs!! Man if they made 18 that thing would be like 18 pounds. I guess I'll settle with the 105 But won't commit just yet. Especially cause they don't come in a glass black.

Have you looked at Stance wheels? I just ordered a set of SF03s - they come in 18s and weigh 22-23lbs and are available in gloss black.

dude! yes!!! Never seen those before I'm in love. I even dig the gloss black tinted face. What color are you getting? And do you just have the tire guy mount the TPMS sensors on the new wheels?

I just ordered them this last weekend through a vendor on here, Motorsports LA. I'm getting 19s in gloss black with tinted face as that's all they have available right now until September. I was only looking at 19" though. 18" might be a different story. Send an email to james@motorsportsla.com. He was super helpful to work with.
