Invisible Dark Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 Hey all, just wondering what kind of names you can drum up when it comes to lightweight wheels on a budget? Obviously theres the usual Rota, Gram lights etc etc more expensive stuff but I'm looking to change the heavy, wide chrome alloys that came on my corolla for something that the wee motor can spin a bit easier. any help and suggestions welcome :S Quote

So what type of car do you have. If its a fwd rolla youd be looking for 4x100. If its rwd probably 4x114.3 or 4x110. So whatchya got? Quote
Trev Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Enkei's, You can get them pretty cheap. Quote

LittleRedSpirit Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 its a 1989 csx hatch, sorry forgot to mention that think its an AE92 Then youd be looking for 4x100. These things are pretty damn light, and this style is also poular amongst fwd people. Its called SSR MK2r. Clears modern 4 piston brakes and honestly probably weighs under 7kg for a 15x7. Quote
Invisible Dark Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Posted October 25, 2009 Nice I like the look of those. What kinda price and any recommended places to buy in QLD/Brisbane? Quote
anastasios Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 probably your best bet is to get on ae86drivingclub have alook through the for sale section there, or even twincam.org, probably more wheels to suit your car Quote
silverra23 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 I run performance superlites on my race car and I wouldn't describe them as light weight by any stretch of the imagination. The Konig Rewinds I have for it are much lighter. Superlites are strong though, and they come at a good price. I have been told then can be lightened too by a supplier, but not sure how true that is.
