    WTB Super Light Wheels

    Anyone have any super light wheels, SSR's, OZ's, forged 18's, etc.? I have frequently gone with super light wheels on my cars and like the performance so considering it on rs6 #2.
    RS6 #1 904959, Daytona, Silver, tons of "stuff," went through puddle, dead engine, end of #1 for me, rebuilt by local enthusiast and thriving.
    RS6 #2 904568, Avus, Ebony, no stuff, stock minus RNS-E.

    I bought a set of OZ Leggera HLT last summer. They are 19x8.5 and weigh 19 lbs each.

    No, sorry, I thought you were looking for examples. My bad.

    I'm actually thinking about buying another set of these for the GTI I just picked up.

    I'd love a forged 18 set. Most weight savings and bending protection from tire sidewall. And used for value!

    Taking it to the top. Been talking to some people on craiglist but people just won't settle for less. I have sold a lot of wheels recently and ultimately I found it wasn't worth it and let people get a "deal." I'm not quite sure why others don't see it this way.

    I have direct access to Forgestar (part of Iforged) wheels at dealer wholesale (and most brands). One piece forged in the USA. Wheels are made to order with custom offsets, colors, other options. Within striking range of the OZ's in terms of cost.

    And likely far stronger (but not as extremely light). Really want to be careful going too light on this car... factoring in road conditions, suspension and tire size.

    There is an 18" available that will clear the brakes.

    With factory direct access to Vredestein tires makes for a nice potential wheel/tire package.

    Buying new guarantees no bent wheels. And a factory warranty.

    Just a thought.
    Cheers, G2/Gary
