Are TE37s the lightest 8.5x19 and 9.5x19 available?

PS. Is there a place where I could find wheel weights?

do the gram lights come in 19" if so, they would be. donno if they do though. there are mag te37s their lighter(and even more so when you factor in the weight lost in the wallet)

probably some nasty ugly rims that are lighter too, I mean like disks.

yea i saw that the mag te37s are WAY lighter, but they only come in 18s, and the gram lights even though by their name sound really light, some of them are actually heavier than the TE37s. But I only saw some of them

I recognize your decision making process. I went through it myself.

There are wheels out there that are better looking, but the Volk tes' are the lightest most practical 19s for a reasonable price.
They actually are nice looking. Probably better looking than 75% of the wheels out there. However I dont like the look of the Tes in 18" inch. Funny but it seems to be a very different wheel in 19.

The new 19" CE28N is lighter. Also, the Forged Mag Spoke and Mesh are lighter than TE37 due to their magnesium face. Gramlights are heavier than the rest of Rays' line because they are cast, with the exception of 57F and 57F Pro, I believe, which are forged.

those would be the 2 I was reffering to, but they probably are 18 only. they're like 15lbs or something though.

Gl 57Fpro's in 19 are like 23lbs for the rears. They are two piece.

The one piece 57fs are probably much lighter and close to the TEs in weight!

the GL 57f don't come in 18s, but the 57f pro do, and they are also less expensive than the TE37s. Now all i have to do is check the actual weight for the sizes. I also checked the Forged mag mesh and the forged mag spokes, i don't think i can afford those...i think i'd rather pay that same amount of money for a twin turbo =)

Sorry for the double post, sometimes this site just doesn't cooperate.

I believe that the LE37Ts are slightly less in weight than the TE37s. My LE37Ts are about 19lbs per wheel.

LE37 = TE37 with polished lip...same wheel otherwise.

Remember guys, before going all **** over the lightest wheel, find the weight of your intended tire! No point getting the lightest wheel then sticking a brick of a tire (ala S03) on it if light weight was your primary goal!

and the toyo has its cons too. from what I hear it has a loose turn in from a soft sidewall. I have them and no complaints.

but with everything, theres always atleast 3 points to the story; and one is always price, the others offset each other. only way to make both sides go up is to raise the price.
