* * Wheel Shopping!!!

Does anyone know wheel weights for work emotions 18x8.5, and oz supperleggeras18x8.5?
I found cheap gram lights with the same size and they are about 18 lbs.

I have weds sa90's in 17x8.5 and will sell when i make my decision. The wheels I have currently are 20.8 lbs.

If you can recommend other light weight wheels plz do. THX!

I have superleggeras 18x8 and I think they are in the range of 17.5 to 18.5 lbs. I didn't know that they came in 18x8.5 though.

I disagree: some wheels are heavier than 17lbs because they are more solidly constructed and are forged - not all wheels are SSR light; these wheels are light because of the manufacturer's unique forging process; thus, this translates into their high prices - yet, most of their 18" are 19-20+lbs
e.g. stock BBS 17x8 (05/06 STI) 19.5 lbs
any prodrive wheel is 21-23 lbs, including the GC line (for 18" wheels that is)

socalred: I just got those gramlights you're talking about (the forged ones) they're a great buy for the quality of wheel and look awesome on my STI

edit: O.Z. Ultraleggera 18x8 - 19.1 lbs
