As the heading says

I'm looking for light front wheels to use as front runners or drag wheels for the track

What are the lightest wheels I can get that will fit my car either 17s or 18s I don't really care just looking for the lightest possible

Thanks and merry Christmas

17" fronts won't clear the brake calipers. As Merc63 said, call CCW or Fikse and they'll make you exactly what you're looking for.

I have no idea what they weigh, but it may be worth looking into using two spare donut steelies (with some better rubber obviously) if you're on a tight budget. Just food for thought.

CCW, for the third time... Tell them you need skinnies for a c63. They'll hook you up.
