Anyone know what the S-Lite 17's weigh?
To me they almost look so good it doesn't matter..... but... If they are just super heavy I may hold off and get something with a little less weight.
Thanks for any input.

Hmm, not sure on the factory 17's. The design doesn't look too light tho, but then again, ya never know. At IAS this year, Centerline had some nice new wheels for the import market. The RPM and Excel are forged and only weigh 13lbs in 17x7!! Now that's light!! You can check them out at Centerline Wheels. They look very nice and are the lowest priced forged ultralight 17's I've found! Then there's always Volks...yummy, but pricey.

I think the retail on the Centerline RPM's is $330 (pretty amazing considering a 17" Volk SE/LE37K, TE37, and CE28N - these are the only ones that can compete in weight - retail for about $550 or so!). I think my friend may be able to get them for a good price cuz he may be a dealer. I can check if you'd like. I don't remember what he carries anymore...I only know he's been shipping out Volks lately.
