Does anyone know of some really light (~13lbs.) wheels that will fit the STi. Ive been looking at the Grahm Lite 57F's but they are too expensive.

 

it may help if you define your criteria for "expensive".

SSR Competition 17x8.5 will fit and are light rims.

however, it may nor may not be expensive, depending on your definition.

Gramlight 57c's are very light, i have a set on my car and they weigh less than the stock 16" rims (S03s on the GLs, RE92s on the stockers). i'm pretty sure that there is a set that'll fit the STi. they're cheaper than the 57Fs, but they're not cheap wheels.

 

light and strong = expensive, my recomendation is to say what your budget is and I'm sure the guys around here will tell you what your best bet for that much is.

 

I have been looking at the 5Zigen FN0R1 model for a while; these are 16 LBs for 17" wheels (stock are 16.5/16"). Vivid Racing sells them for $195 a wheel. 5Zigen wheels have a good reputation in many of the "tuner" mags out there and I've read several positive reviews.

There is no way you are going to get below 16lbs per wheel for under $200, unless you want to go to 16" or 15" wheels -- 13lb wheels are going to cost you $400+ a wheel minimum, and I've seen some in the $499 range are still 17lbs.

 

I see SDR's in your future... whatever the choice may be be sure they clear your breaks <--zoeb spelling
