Which are the lightest 19" wheels?

franciscosss · 02-06-2008, 11:05 PM

Hi, I was thinking of getting 19" wheels but if they will be heavy and compromise performance I would save my monely. Which are good options when looking for light wheels?

Park2670 · 02-06-2008, 11:19 PM

Dinan, Morr, Volk, there are several lightweight 19s. Also check tirerack.

McLuVan · 02-06-2008, 11:24 PM

Those looks like they're regular wheels wrapped in CF. Unless the whole barrel is in true CF.

If you want to go light I know for sure Volks, Advans, Neez.

For a set of 19s..a good light weight wheels would be ~20 lb, give or take 1-2 lbs.

TheAcAvenger · 02-07-2008, 12:05 AM

OZ's ultraleggeras are light as well.

de.abeja · 02-07-2008, 12:13 AM

So what is the high-low money we are talking about here? The Dinan wheels are around $5k, Morr's are like $7k, Volks $6k........

TheAcAvenger · 02-07-2008, 12:30 AM

Volk's are NOT $6k. More like $3k. Shieeet, I wish I would spend $6k on some wheels. Not in this lifetime.

LOLrance · 02-07-2008, 01:15 AM

Probably Volks or Advans. Although Advan doesn't have a lot of applications for BMW's.

Mattscott · 02-07-2008, 01:18 AM

they have a set of 19x10 true cf wheels that weigh 9 lbs each

downside, cost is like 12,000

cbad335 · 02-07-2008, 02:49 AM

I believe you can get Morr VS7s for under 2k. Even some of the rep wheels are lighter than OEM, especially if you go with non-runflat tires.

WOW! Thats quite the markup!

Dinan wheels will be ~$4k
Morr wheels are ~$2-3K
Volks wheels are ~3k

remmib · 02-07-2008, 09:16 AM

What about BBS Re-Mg

alan93rsa · 02-07-2008, 09:19 AM

You might want to check with Forgeline. I'm looking at a set of 19" MD3P's.

where are you getting these prices from anyways;;;
idk about dinan but moor and volks are no where near that price, even with tires;

Zürcher · 02-07-2008, 10:10 AM

what about kinesis?
kinesis

Spool · 02-07-2008, 10:13 AM

BBS RGR = 20lbs
BBS RSGT = 21lbs
Neez Eurocross = 18lbs
HRE C20's = 19lbs *i have a set for sale*
Volk CE28N = 20 lbs
Kinesis = 20 lbs

TSM330i · 02-07-2008, 02:30 PM

The Dymag's are a true carbon fiber barrel with a magnesium center. They cost around $2K each and are very light weight.

Cost wise, Volk, BBS and Advan will all be similar with a similar weight.

Check out Fikse also. Forged centers and two or three piece wheels with custom offsets. Very light weight and used by many GT3 race teams.

If you really want to save weight, drop down to 18".

Boost Gomez · 02-07-2008, 05:13 PM

Remmib, those BBS magnesium wheels are crazy.

i would have said kinesis in the past as well, but it's too bad kinesis they got bought out by Lexani.

shragon · 02-07-2008, 05:21 PM

aren't bbs rg-r's suppose to be fairly light for 19's? however last i heard is that they were going to be discontinued.

de.abeja · 02-07-2008, 06:12 PM

How much is a set of the Neez Aluminum Vs. Magnesium?

SV Concepts III · 02-07-2008, 07:10 PM

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Morr VS7s. They are forged 1 piece wheels made of T6-6061 aluminum meaning they weigh 19.6lb for the 19x8.5 and 20.8lb for the 19x9.5.
