I did a couple searches and came up with mixed responses. So maybe we could make something a little more official....What are the lightest wheels for the Z?

Magnesium TE37 (a class of its own)

Volk CE28Ns
Nismo LMGT4s

 

http://www.wheelweights.net/

 

yes, I found that as well...but it doesn't list the lightest wheels available for 18s and 19s...and butt ugly rims don't count...

 

I was under the impression that nismos were some of the lightest around!

Guess I was right!

Are the Volks lighter though?

 

gram lights 57f? (one piece forged) is about the same as the ce28ns and lighter than the nismos.

 

This particular site has not been updated since 02. It's quickly becoming obsolete as many new wheels and sizes are not there.

Anyone know of another newer site?

 

For their size, the Racing Hart CPF Tune are amount the lightest around. 19x9" is 19lbs and the 19x10.5" is 22lbs

 

What about http://www.wheelspecs.com/main/index.php?

 

SSR Comp's are lighter than the Nismos .. by a little bit.

18x9 18.1 lbs (wider)
18x10.5 19.4 lbs (wider)

 

Enkei RPF-1 are apparently 16.9 lbs in 18x8.5" size

 

So it seems like volks are the lightest rims

 

yup

 

Depends. Some SSR's are lighter than Volks. Some Volk's are heavy for forged wheels. (GT line)

I've actually gotten into an argument about this .. cut/paste my post from another forum.

(SSR Comps are lighter than Volks on avg is what I'm trying to prove)

> SSR Type-C (called Competitions in the US) SSF 17x7.5 13.0
> Volk CE28N Forged 17x7.5 13.8
> Volk Gram Lights Cast 17x7.5 17.0
> Volk SE37K Forged 17x7.5 14.3
> Volk TE37 Forged 17x7.5 15.0

> SSR Type-C (called Competitions in the US) SSF 17x9 15.6
> Volk CE28N Forged 17x9 14.8

Give or take one is lighter than the other in different sizing. It's about the same b/t the CE28N & SSR Comp. This doesn't make the SSR Comp heavy by any stretch of the imagination. Plus, the TE37 is heavier by 2 lbs for the same size. The data speaks for itself; SSR Comps are lighter on avg.
