If you're looking for something light you may want to check out the BBS LM's. $0.02

one-piece superleggera...i think the forged superleggera iii is probably too expensive for me, and too large.

superleggera is available in a gunmetal finish, in both 18 and 19 inch diameters. It is forged, therefore very lightweight, and at a good price. Some people like the finish, some don't. It really would look good on silver, black, or white cars.

The one piece Superleggera's are lighter than the BBS LM's in the 19 inch format. The Leggera's weigh around 21 lbs from what I have been told.

Interesting?? I thought they are about the same weight. So i'm guessing that the Superleggera III's are lighter than the one piece version??

I dont think so, the 19 inch one piece version is forged and so are all of the three piece versions but the one piece is lighter than the three by a few lbs. Peter, can you give us an exact answer??

The one piece is lighter becasue on the 3pc, the rim halves are spun 6061 aluminum
