Default new very light weight 18's

Here are some teaser pics of my future rims...I'm just waiting for the spacers to come in and for my friends new HRE wheels for his Supra to come in...
couldn't put them on due to sum hub fitment issues supra hub is 61mm and mine are 66mm no biggie though got sum spacers comming that will fix the prob...



not a good pic but they are 11in wide





and sum teaser pics of my friends supra collection in this pic you can see the supra with about 900whp in the background



and in this 1 you can see the twin turbo car which has about 10k original miles...



only supra missing was the other black 93 model Supra single turbo with about 1250whp former owner was Peter Blach but my friend bought it...oh yeah and the z06 is sitting outside...

one good thing about them is that the back rim weighs 7 pounds despite being 11in wide

Please clarify that statement a little better. An 18x11 Fikse Aro probably weighs close to 20lbs. Although it is a very nice, well made wheel..

two things

1 - you do realize of course your rims, in no possible way... at all, weigh 7 lbs a piece. I would like to see you admit that... you should weigh them.

2 - ... you wouldn't happen to be a troll messing around, would you? seems really (really) stupid for one person to own so many of the same car. just a thought. The way you also brag about his cars is unsettling and your writing style is evocative of a poseur.

just my take on this situation. if not, more power to you. I like the rims and will look better when the car is on the ground, lowered. look forward to the pics if so.

haha...the tires alone probably weigh 25-28 lbs each...so I'm not sure how you say the tire/wheel combo is only 20. I think you've been misinformed and might want to actually throw those on a scale, I'm guessing 45 - 50 lbs per tire/wheel combo. Fikse does make a decent wheel though.
