Any one knows what manufacturer makes the lightest 17" wheels for a 05 MCS? Perhaps a few pictures attached would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

 

SSR Comps can be had from Alex at the www.tirerack.com

 

Check out this CP 035 racing wheel at
http://www.wholesalehyperformance.co...rt_cpo-35.html

 

FYI:

The CP-035s are:

15x7 = 9.4 lbs
16x7 = 10.8 lbs
17x7.5 = 13.0 lbs

By contrast, SSR Competitions are:

15x7 = 9.2 lbs
16x7 = 11.0 lbs
17x7.5 = 12.7 lbs

What are the price comparisons?

 

Not the lightest, but not bad at 14.lbs, Kosei K1 TS for $199 at tirerack. The SSR Competitions are $339. 17x7. Come in light gray, silver or orange. 42mm offset fits fine on my 1.5 drop.

 

I have a set of SSR's for sale in the Marketplace. They are great wheels.

 

Theo, what are the offsets for the C-035s? Thanks.

Steve

 

Steve,

CP-035s offsets:

15x6.5 = 35 mm
15x7 = 40 & 45 mm
16x7 = 35 & 45 mm
17x7.5 = (not found)

17x7.5 = 42mm

 

SSR comps are $389 a piece now. I just looked them up in at the TR site. I am considering a set to replace my SSR GT1s.

 

I have my money on magnesium volk TE-37s. You have to custom order them and they cost a pretty penny, but they are most likely the lightest (and softest for that matter).



I've never seen them in a color other than blue, wonder if that's the only color...

 

Thanks!

Theo

 

Thanks, Theo. The manufacturer's site didn't list any 17's in 4x100 bolt patterns, but I've seen products from other companies that weren't shown on their websites. Meanboy, where did you find the 17's? Thanks.

Steve

 

another good LW rim is at www.6061forged.com

 

Damn those and light and cheap. Not really diggin the styling though.

 

Still the 17" feather weight champ, RH CP8-R at 12.4#. Minzilla is now the only Mini wearing these:smile:

 

TE37 are best known in white, but i believe from volks they offer gold, bronze and black

volks lightest wheel is ce28nm just fyi

 

The standard forged aluminum TE37 is best known in white, the MAGNESIUM TE37 I have only seen in blue. I'm sure they come in other colors, but why is the standard color blue....

 

Magnesium only in blue, limted fitments:

Steve,

I found the information from the tirerack site.

oops.... i stand corrected

i think it was designed for the R34 skyline (Bay side blue metallic), but im not too sure

blue wheels'd look HOYT on indi blue or hyper blue though

 

Meanboy, I didn't see the CP-035s at Tire Rack. Are you talking about the SSR Comps? Those are well documented.

Steve

 

Steve,

That's what I thought you were asking about the SSRs. I don't know anything about the other wheel.

 

Since I gave the incorrect answer on the offset I felt committed to finding the answer to the question of the offset of the 17x7.5. According to the chart, the 17x7.5 is not offered in a 4x100 bolt pattern.
