RacerJJ Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I am looking into buying the lightest wheels I can find in the 16" to 18" range (preferably 18"). I am not concerned with load ratings or any of that stuff. My truck is a race truck and race truck only now and I'm looking at getting rid of the heavy 22's. Chrome or black, doesn't matter. Please chime in with some insight and ideas. TIA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montanass Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 check out WELD as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanis520 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 i think theres a brand called Bogart, or something like that, not sure. they are supposed to be the lightest you can get. but they are straight up race wheels, and are ugly as shit. i would never want them on my truck. but if you're goin for function before anything else, those should work. check out jegs.com too they have a lot of racing wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 how much you looking to spend? i need some 18x 10 forged wheels. centerline doesent offer anything in this size im looking at weld evo 18 x10 for my radials. my 18;s weigh like 24 lbs a wheel they are 18 x 8.5 if i can get a decent deal on some welds i may be able to sell these for a decent price.

I'm not sure about pricing just yet as I haven't even begun to look. I really like your wheels and tires so this may be soemthing I will be very interested in. Keep me posted! I gues I was thinking no more than $2000 for wheels and drag radials. Edited June 14, 2007 by RacerJJ (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krambo Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Bogart Racing wheels are the lightest you will find and they don't look like crap either. 8lbs for a 16x10. Expect to pay for that though as 4 will cost you $2000 for just the wheels alone. Trust me, I looked into this. My next suggestion is to go with a nice forged wheel like centerline in the smallest size you can find that will host the tire size you want to run. (...as the other guys said).

Justin Lamanna Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 look into CCW, i wanted to get 22's from them but they would not make me a set that big because my truck weighed to much. "need more testing"????? smaller sizes they'll be able to make since they make 20" wheels for SSR's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
