[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 14915306, member: 121775"] I have a set of el cheapos on mine from Advanti Racing called the HY Hybris. Not much too look at in pictures, but they look pretty good in person on the car. I just hate their logo on the center cap. If you like that design (which is pretty popular these days) but want a "brand" name, HRE sells a similar wheel that is manufactured using the same process, low pressure cast then flow formed. Do some research on the process. They're lighter than most forged wheels and stronger than a typical cast wheel. I went for a staggered set of wheels and actually inadvertently avoided a problem. The 19x9.5 wheel is concave and won't clear the front brakes [without a spacer.] I have those on the back and 19x8.5 in the front that just barely clear the calipers. The #1 thing that sold me on them was their weight. I'm a twisties kind of guy and like attacking the mountain roads. The wheels have held up perfectly fine so far. No cracking or warping. I would say start at Tire Rack since that's about the only place that actually lists wheel weight. You can do a search by weight range. You'll notice that most lightweight wheels cost a small fortune, especially if they're forged. edit: The wheels are gravity cast, not low pressure cast. Still flow formed, though. [/QUOTE]
