would av thought that was obvious

he wants big alloys for looks, but light so he wont loose too much acceleration/top end.

i think so.... but still its a compensation, at least ppl av the option of goin for big alloys and not sufferin as much loss of performance due to the size of alloys.

Speedline do a variety of lightweight alloys but they dont come cheap.

I also agree that lightweight 18's are pointless. 18's are gonna slow your car down regardless.

If you're choosing wheels you may as well choose lightweight ones, its to go with a PSG widearch so he's not going to want to deck it on 15s!

kosei alloys are relatively lightweight compared to other brand, but they still weigh quite a bit.

Lightweight wheels will always be more expensive due to the higher quality.

I can see why you want them.

Compmotive's are fairly light as far as I know, look to what the rally boys use. WRC cars have huge lightweight wheels dont they?
