Okay guys.... aftermarket sellers.

This is where you earn your money.

Who makes the lightest rims... top 5??

Lets use 20/10, for comparison??

Probably CCW and HRE are one of them.

Rays Engineering or SSR from Japan

SLK55R

Fikse makes light wheels and of course the Carlsson UL's as well as Renntech wheels are very light.

You're hitting a block by sticking with conventional materials.

CF is the way to go to further reduce weight from what I've read.

CF is still REALLY expensive, Ricky....

Go with an ultralight wheel from any of the better manufacturers, and you'll do fine, idrivatitleist.

I've got a 17 x 8.5" rim from SSR weighing in at 16 pounds on my BMW. As far as I have seen it is one of the lightest available non-exotic rims out there for my application. If SSR makes something that fits the bolt pattern on your car I would look into them, they use Semi-Solid Forged Aluminum, thus allowing a lighter rim to be very strong.

The lightest that I can see by a quick search on Tire Rack is actually by BBS, the 19 x 8.5" RGR weighs in at only 21.2 pounds. More than likely one of the if not the lightest 19" rims you will find anywhere. Apparantly SSR doesn't make very many rims for the MB bolt pattern, but the BBS RGR looks like a great option for a lightweight rim.

my fronts are 19x8.5 and are 19.5 lbs.

I figure if you own a Mercedes and you're looking for the best...
