HOLY CROW !!!

Someone definitely needs to develope a light weight alternative. Unsprung weight is one of the biggest handling secrets out there. I came from a Miata where weight was crucial (for lack of HP) ..., and wheel weights was one of the first places to make noticable improvements.

Someone please help us!

I agree. I have OZ Superleggeras on my WRX. 17 lbs for a 17 x 7 wheel. I little smaller than the front stock SRT wheel but not that much.

almost any forged wheel or two or three piece wheels would be lighter. Big bucks though. I priced some 18 and 19 inch 3 piece wheels. 1000 per wheel!

yea got those.. and they definatly don't feel much heavier, although by looking at them I thought they would...

For the size of our stock rims, they are not THAT heavy, but it definatly could be improved on...

How about the weight of the base Cross. rims? Does anyone know? I just got some SRT-6 rims from my base

coupe and was just wondering if these were lighter, although I got it because I like the style of the SRT-6

not its weight factor, just curious now, tried searching it, couldn't find it...

Who's gonna be the first to buy a set of Dymag Carbon Fiber wheels for their SRT-6? Their 19x11 wheels weigh 18lbs!!!

Sure I can sell the front rims, name your price, they are pretty much brand new, my car has little over 6k.

With no tires of course because I am going to use them for the rims I got. So pm me your offer!!!

Thanks for the interest.
