Wheels under $2.5k that are not heavy

RPF1 is the lightest in the market. Volk TE 37 just a bit heavier but expensive.

I think PF01 is supposed to be the updated, maybe slightly lighter replacement for RPF1. They look better anyways. I'm thinking of going with those when the time comes.

They may be stock but they're damn good rims and much better looking than most of the aftermarket I see on here. Ive owned Volks, Gram lights, Enkei and a few others and my Nismo stockers are right up there with them. Id rather put the money towards the engine.

I like the Forgestar F14's. You should easily be able to get a set for under 2k (without tires). They're fairly light, but I don't know exact weights.

i am not really a fan of the RPF1 styling. However I do love the RP03 and I had forgotten all about them until you reminded me of Enkei. The only thing is that the widest size they come in is 10 inches.

Would I even be able to notice the smaller width if my tires are just as wide as the stock ones though?

I love the F14's and was gonna buy a set until I realized they are about 25 or 26 pounds

If you can go 1/2" narrower with the sport wheel specs, the Nismo S-tunes are on sale everywhere right now in the 800-1000 range.

What do you all think of these? I really like them but just realized the black color comes only in 19x10 and 19x8.5.... So if I got them I guess I would have to just get 19x10 all around and just have a staggered tire setup? Idk. I think I would also need some spacers for these as the offset is +22


These are RP03's btw

The cost I have seen on a couple sites and also on eBay is 1500-1600 for a set of 4. I dont know the "official" weight numbers but I have seen posts on a.couple different forums saying 23lb for the 10" width which sounds reasonable IMO

Still debating whether to get 10" width for all 4 or 8.5" in the front. The offsets for both are +22. Can anyone tell me if I would need spacers to be close to flush?

Ok, I will go with 10's all around then.

Can anybody help me with the fitment though? Again, the offsets are +22. Idk how these will fit in the front and rear. Will I need spacers?
