Lightweight front wheels

[Airborne5.0]

Hi everyone,

I am looking to get some lighter front wheels than the stock pp1 (2018) wheels that I am running.

This year at the 1/4 mile my best time was:

1.865 60 foot
12.148 ET
113.35 MPH

Burnout, peddle break in feather throttle 1,500-1,700 ish RPM, drag mode.

Car is 2018 5.0 PP1 with:
Rear wheels - VMS 17x10 wrapped in Nitto 555rii 305/45/17
Front wheels - Stock pp1 wheel wrapped with Indy Fire hawks 500 275/45/19
Wengerd 91 Oct tune
Corsa Xtreme Active exhaust
Kooks 1 7/8 long tube catted headers

My goal for the car is 11 second date night car. I don't daily the car, I just take it work now and then, date night with the wife, coffee runs, cruises etc.
I enjoy the run what you brung mentality. I could just throw slicks on and be there but I don't want to do that.

I am going to be switching to a sticker drag radial as this year I really had to heat up my tires to get my best time.

What I am mainly looking for is a light weight front wheel and was hoping for some suggestions from the pros.

Does anyone have suggestions for me? my buddies just tell me get skinnies but it doesnt quite match what I want for the car in terms of drive ability when I am not at the 1/4 mile which is only one or twice a year.

Thanks in advance.

Apex is an easy button. They're ~22 lbs (forged ones less).

You can get some Forgestars in sizes like 17x7 or 18x8 and also get matching wider ones...should only be 17-18lbs for the fronts

Was going to suggest Apex or Titan wheels

Thanks for the replies guy, I appreciate it. In your experience how much time does some lighter front wheels translate to the 1/4 mile.
