Rim weight

ByPopularDemand · August 25th, 2007, 02:33 PM

Well with my stock rims on my car got noticably quicker from not lugging heavy ass billits and wide ass tires around. So Does anyone make light weight rims for our cars or should I paint my stockers black, because tthe difference is great. I really am considering not putting the bullits on once the car is fixed

thats because your car doesnt have power...with some power in it then u wouldnt feel to much a difference to make u decide not puts wheels on it...my wheels are heavy too...lighter then the bullitts (not billit) tho...but if u want looks and a way for better traction thats thats the way to go other then forged wheels and wheels that cost a lot more money that are a lot less weight....put skinnies in the front 17x4s or 16s and run 15s out back with big ass tires....u have less wheel weight and looks bad ass

It still moves, but I just never realized how bad the bullits slowed me down...I guess its either pay a ton of br deug down huh

You do not want to run skinnies on the street. You will end up killing yourself or some one.

Who said anything about being mad? I didn't see a j/k or j/p at the end of your post and some kids who come in might just take you seriously.

Btw I think I read somewhere ultralights are like 22lbs each.

HMUSN · August 25th, 2007, 06:31 PM

^ 20 pounds I believe

ByPopularDemand · August 25th, 2007, 06:47 PM

Nope, I'm sure their are some rims that are 17lbs but their probably 1500$ for a set...

HMUSN · August 25th, 2007, 06:56 PM

I think they only come in either 24 pounds or 22 pounds.

and that's not bad for 18's

ESG-642T · August 25th, 2007, 07:02 PM

problem is light rims is not your best option unless its all you have left~

02ponypackage · August 25th, 2007, 07:04 PM

its true..so dont get mad...i put my wheels on and my car felt so damn sluggish...then again it always did...thats when i realized a V8 or more power in general on the 6 is needed

HMUSN · August 25th, 2007, 07:05 PM

that is true.

dapack69 · August 26th, 2007, 05:38 AM
