light weight 19inch wheels - what brands?
Im thinking of selling my 20in hre wheels and dropping down to 19in light weight wheels.

Volks G25 if u want lightweight monoblock forged for reasonable pricing.
The 19inch weights 19lbs. And they are priced just around 900$/each. Ask member BAD430BENZ, he has a set.
I'm getting a set but for the ISF.

Can't wait for my set. The new finish (Dark silver with Prism clear) looks spectacular.Merc, is the TSW forged? That's a very good price.

Now I understand the fact that by reducing the mass of anything on the hub, wheels, tires, rotors, calipers etc... is like taking 4 x the mass off the body of the car, but has anyone done any test to see how this equates to actual 1/4 time savings?
I have seen the dyno testing where the HP goes up when they put lightweight wheels on, but I am not a fan of dyno numbers, I prefer real life drag times.
