    The Lightweight Wheel Thread (≤13.5 lbs)

    I'm looking for new wheels for my Miata for the summer and thought it would be nice to have a thread for functional, lightweight wheels for road and track.
    I'm looking for "normal" offsets that doesn't take a lot of work to fit (and maybe even for me to use here in Norway )

    The usual suspects (from Good-Win).



    Konig 15x8 WIDEOPEN - $99.95
    +20 offset
    13.6 lbs



    6UL 15x7.5 - $149.00
    +42 offset
    11.5 lbs



    ENKEI RP-F1 - $179.00
    15x7
    +35 offset
    9.8 lbs



    Team Dynamics Silver Pro Race 1.3 - $129.00
    15x7
    +25 offset
    13 lbs



    Konig "BRITE-LITE" - $89.00
    15x6.5
    +38 offset
    12 lbs

    So, do you have any? Maybe some hidden treasures? What about discontinued wheels? Or pure racing wheels?

    There's always the OEM option from Mazda:
    Standard NB or even NB Phoenix Enkeis are well below that weight.


    Both 6x15" +40.

    Id be looking at the Enkei RPf1 14x7 +19 or +28. At 8.6 pounds, best choice for lightweight and being functional.

    ATS Cup LE
    it's the forged limited edition of the normal Cups.
    they only came in 7x15" ET38
    but they are just about 12lbs heavy (light)




    they do look almost the same as the normal ones, but when you compare both of the versions you'll see that the LE don't have that edge on the outside, and the dish isn't as deep as the normal ones that came in ET20 and ET25.

    they are often on ebay.de

    Wow.

    8.5lbs rpf1 and a ~15lbs t1r = 24 lbs per corner.
    Which is about 10lbs less than most 15" tire and wheel combos (~33lbs).

    You guys have sold me on the 14" rpf1!
