Hey guys and gals! Its getting to be tire replacement time for me after only 8500 miles
Which means I am going to drop the coin and do the whole deal. Wheels and Tires. I love TE 37s. They are light and the design works with the car. Since many have them however, I would like to be a little different.
My question is this: What are the lightest 19x10 rims out there?
(Besides TE 37s
)
I would like price and weights if possible, but I am more interested in ideas so if you dont know the former two then post anyway!
I need help. If I dont get it then youll have yet another member posting a pic of his Z with TE-37s
Thanks All!

OZ Superleggera come in at 20 lbs for 19". But I believe that is for an 8"wide wheel.
Here's an article and some pics (OZ's on 350Z):

Edit: Ahhh here's what I was looking for- a pretty complete list of aftermarket wheels and their weights http://wheelweights.net/

I know I know!, but there is a reason for this.
A. They are attractive in 19"
B. They are extremely light for a 19"
C. All factors considered, they are well priced when you
consider their weight.
Also consider the prices on these lightweight 19s out there.
OZ Superlegera 3 piece at 840 a wheel. Kinesis wheels @ $1000+ a wheel and HREs around the same.
Do you guys know of anything moderately priced that is light and looks good in 19?
I used to be one of tose who bitched about all the"lemmings" going for the TE-37s, but I am beginning to see the light
Any other ideas fellas?
PS thanks for the efforts all!

anyway, if your looking for light, might wanna be lookin at 18"s...
but for 19s, find a good brand of forged rim, their all gonna be within 2lbs of each other.

It looks like you chose go over show. I commend you for that. Your engine must be very happy about the unsprung weight of your rear wheels!

damn those are light, how wide tho? maybe there like 6" wide or something and thats how there doin it...
I saw a rim in a magazine the other day, think it was 17" but it weight 11lbs. thats insane, but it of course, was ugly as hell, a racing wheel I guess, little circles in it. if I chose to one day buy a rim for track only tho, thatd be it no doubt.
