Lightest Rims to fit 275s rear

007_e350 · 05-27-2014, 02:06 PM

hey Rim gurus, I'm looking for the lightest set of Rims, (stocks weight 26 lbs) and Volke's are ugly... I need something concave (like CV3s, or 95s, even Miro 111s) I'm planning on going as wide as possible (pre-lci) without spacers so offset has to be right to clear fender and shock, pls advise

RaceTruk · 05-27-2014, 03:12 PM

style 95 are crazy heavy.
prob would help if you told us what diameter......
regardless apex arc-8 will fit the bill.
they have them in 17-19 up to 11.5" rear depending on size.

Since when? There are plenty of concave fitments for the arc8.

okay just saw it is, so the 19 x 9.5 is 23.2 lbs but offset is 22 isnt that too aggressive ? I've fit in 24 barely

007_e350 · 05-28-2014, 12:06 PM

what do u guys think abt Miro 111, which offset should be flush and is there a deep concave profile ?

We offer the 19x9.5" ET33 EC-7 that is a Profile 3 deep concave wheel for the e9x platform. Here is a photo of that exact wheel on the rear of an e90 LCI 335D, paired with the 19x9" ET35 Profile 2 front:

This is how deep the concavity is on the 19" EC-7's with a Profile 3 face:

There are different profiles for the EC-7 wheels which demonstrate different concavities, and all the sizing with respect to it's profile is shown below:

+1 for Apex wheels. Best wheel if you want something lightweight

11SEC · 05-28-2014, 01:32 PM

Go with the ARC8 profile 3...they are lighter and they look more concave than the EC7 based on design imo.

007_e350 · 05-30-2014, 01:03 PM

thanks for the input guys - any other wheels to consider in 19" preferably ET 30

What width are you after with an offset of +30?

currently I have ET 24s and they fit perfect - I think ET30 would be ideal to fit a 285 rear

007_e350 · 06-01-2014, 02:44 PM

what do you guys think abt Avant Garde 19x9 ET18 front, 19x10 ET25 rear, whats the weight on those

jeffblue · 06-01-2014, 02:51 PM

Light wheels and vossen don't belong in the same post

The lightest inexpensive quality wheels are apex arc8 and yes they are concave. If you want lighter and are willing to spend more you could get te37sl or advan tc3.

nice options presented here.

Avant Gardes are great wheels but again they are low pressure cast. If you are really after light weight you need a wheel that is mono block rotary forged or forged.
