any lightweight 18's for this car?

boosted180 · 07-14-2009, 08:00 PM

are there any lightweight 18" aftermarket wheels that fit this car? i'll keep the 19's for street, but want 18x9 or 9.5 front and 18x10 or 10.5 rear for track use. for tires, i'm thinking 295 rear and 265 front.

any suggestions? what offsets will i need?

Forgestar, SSR, Volk, BBS are all pretty lightweight.

Offset will depend on the wheel....

Any forged wheel will weigh much less than a cast wheel of the same size... usually volk ce28s and te37s are really light

I have the same question - basically, are there 18 inch wheels out there that fit the sport package brakes? When searching for wheels at Tire Rack only 19 and 20 inch options come up...
Thanks

Thats probably becuase the Sport package comes with 19's. If you talk to one of the vendors like Forged they should be able to tell you exactly what offsets you need.

Einkei RPF1 are super light and they fit great.

Who wants 18" Forgestars?

+1! So are BBS.

Why 18" rims? Most slicks are designed for 15" or 17" rims?

after seeing what they did to that other guy, they aren't an option for me.

37Z, I wish we could get 17s, but I really don't think they would clear the brakes.

Try to find a 17 or less that wraps around the stock sport package brakes...

I don't think that will ever happen. Some 18" wheels don't even fit.

SSR Wheels - SSR Professor SP-1

^^^All of the above aren't very lightweight. SSR Type-F is a pretty lightweight wheel though.

RCZ · 07-22-2009, 06:32 PM

I think type F's would look great on this car as track wheels. But $
