Light and strong...that's what you're looking for.

Dymags are the way to go...An amazing 14 lbs per wheel...but very very very expensive.

Dymags are a great way to go 19" are roughly 19-20 lbs per wheel.




Another great option is the BBS E88 in 19"





We also carry the full line of HRE wheels which work great!






Feel free to email me if you have any questions.......

Wheels arent going to give you any sizeable increase on the track. For the money it costs for Dymags you can have some great light weight wheels from CCW and good tires and better brakes that will help much more than a set of wheels alone.

You should be looking into other stuff for the track.

Thumbs up Wheels

Light wheels are one of the first mods to make a difference in your car.
Many benefits with light wheels.

1. Over all weight savings (lighter = faster)
2. Unsprung weight (handling)
3. Rotating mass (acceleration & braking)
4. Strength (hard cornering)
5. Visual appeal (looks like your faster)

Heavy is right on...must weigh cost
Look at the lightest wheel for the $$$
give up 1-2 lbs per wheel
and use difference for brakes & suspension.

Good Luck on your Choice keep us posted.

I dont know, the C14's from CCW are only $2600 so I'd say they are about the same, depends on what look you like.
