Lightweight Wheels?

I have 19x7.5 Motegi FF7 on my car now, but the car feels so much slower with these big wheels on it. I am considering getting lightweight wheels on my car. Any suggestions with size and tire size to go with. I think Motegi website says my wheels weigh around 25lbs wheels alone, so with tires it must be near 45lbs right? I think that is what is causing my car to feel so slow. Any recommendations would be great, and pictures of some lightweight wheels too. Thanks in advance

Good starting point. It's best to figure out your size you want first, then go from there. Forged are typically lighter than cast wheels, but more expensive. Budget will play a big part. I had good luck with nice package deals at www.wheelsnext.com and www.edgeracing.com and www.discounttire.com


I went down to 15's from my 17's, love em.
