I think he meant "wheels == rims" NickLove the look if you have CF on the car.
Something like this with alcantera to complete the race theme.

What's the weight savings? I know the 360 Forged carbon fiber rims were just for cosmetics and provided no weight savings...Ah yes...long day for me :confused3
For carbon wheels, HRE makes an unbelievable set but it will set you back a used scion.

I'm pretty happy with my recent order of the 20" AC Schnitzer Type V Monoblocks.. They're a bit lighter than the weights you gave above for the forged aluminum. Of course, they are quite expensive and just a few grand more could put you in carbon fiber territory (if the previous posts of $10k a set were accurate).For comparison:
Forged Aluminum Wheel Weight:
19” x 9” = 23 lbs.
19” x 12” = 26 lbs.
HRE Carbon Series
19” x 9” = 17 lbs.
19” x 12” = 20 lbs.
This is the funniest thing I have read on this board, ever. With your permission, I would like to add this to my signature.Any time you can move up to 20" and actually realize a weight savings, you've raped, looted and pillaged (and got away with it). :applause:
