I had spoon (a honda tuner) wheels on an old car a buddy and I had done and they were 15x6.5 and weighed in at something rediculous like 8 lbs
I appreciate your research. Those wheels you mentioned are very light but only come in small sizes. The Racing Harts didn't look as good design-wise as the TE37s and also look like they'd be weaker. I think that the TE-37s are probably the lightest wheel that could be easily ordered in the GT2 size, 18X8.5 & 18X12 with the correct offset.

I'd look around, there are many manufacturers that just aren't as popular that are very light and strong.


I'd get in contact w/ one of the sponsors such as Wheel Experts and mention to him what you are looking for and see what he has to offer

Kevin, my pleasure. I did it kinda late last night and I could only find the one pic of those rims. As for Volk rims, you've got me interested. Being a big fan of the out of date Sportecs, Volk seems to have two alternatives with the CE28N and the LE28N
They look very similar. NICE.
