Lightweight wheel alternative

[MCarsFan]

Besides the 6GR wheels which seem like they weigh 25 lbs (vs 33 lbs of stock), are there any lighter wheel options out there more like around 20-21 lbs for the base GT350 (not R spec)? It seems like tire rack dont carry any wheels for GT350 yet.

I know O.Z. has superforgiata which weighs around 19 lbs for the 19x11 size, but I'm not sure if the offsets will match and that is probably the most expensive option out there.

I am searching also. Only options I have found so far are HRE and Forgeline. Both expensive. Looking at $4500 a set as the cheapest option. I have to get the stock wheels off the car. I have heard they weigh from 31 to 33lbs. Ludicrous. No sports car should have a wheel this heavy.

I know Work has options that might fit

Nice thread- True monoblock wheels equal lightweight fully track capable wheels. I am wrestling with this decision now of which monoblock to get. Lightest and strongest are of course the monoblock with spun forged following behind. As usual you get what you pay for. Here is a link to describe the differences in wheel production for those not aware.

This a Forgeline monoblock that held up in a race and NEVER lost air.

Finspeed -My current personal favorite besides Forgelines (have had three sets of those)

BC Forged - RT52's have a very similar look to the R wheels otherwise some nice options here

The Forgestar CF5v will reportedly weigh 23ish in 19x11. They are reasonably priced and about as good as you will get if you're on a budget. I've got a set coming and will post weights when they come.

Forgeline, finspeed, ccw. IM ordering a set of forgelines for next season, and I have no doubt they are one the best, if no the best wheel on the market. Forgeline and finspeed both have options that will come in around 20-21 lbs

Anything from Forgeline or HRE or BBS should be good

 

[MCarsFan]

Thanks for the suggestions, will look into all these brands.

What are the exact sizes and offsets we need to run R width tires?
Ill stop at the various vendors at SEMA this year and make some inquiries as to what may be coming from who..

I got my set of Forgestars... like them much better than the 6g wheels I had.

Looks amazing.

How much do they weigh? What tires are you running on them?
