Rims I want...
Im thinking about getting diffrent rims for my car, because the ones I have now actually slow me down... darn big 17s...

Heres what I am looking for....
-Black/gunmetal/CF/hyperblack whatever, just black basicly...
-6 spoke, wich could include the double 6, wich is actually 12... you might know what Im talking about...
-15inch
-Lighter than stock
-possibly wider than stock
So if there are some like this out there let me know!!!

Rep Power: 338 everyone is either going bigger for show (18"s, 19"s...)
or smaller for go (15"s, 16"s).
I remember when everyone would promote larger wheels. Now there is wheel diversity!

Rep Power: 527 I know you wanted 6 spoke ones, but you might find something else for cheaper. I got Rota Slipstreams 15x6.5 (11.8lbs each) for $100 each shipped. But they are 5 spokes.

Rep Power: 423 Oh whoopdy doo. They weigh 11.2 lbs as opposed to 10.4. WHO CARES! I wouldn't call that a "problem". A problem is they fracture, then bent, they don't fit, etc...
Someone just misquoted the weight and everyone took it for granted... then someone checked.

Rep Power: 423 Most tires weigh about the same, give or take 2 lbs. The only tire I'm aware of that was intended to be lightweight are Kumho Victoracer V700s. But they're R compounds (race tires). Really with the tire, I'd concern yourself more with whatever your priority is, stickiness or milage durablity.

Rep Power: 423 Then look for those, don't worry about what it weighs. Don't worry about speed rating either, the car won't go over 130, you don't need a Y or Z rated tire. Falken Azenis are just about the stickest tire you can buy, they're W or V rated, and 23.8 lbs (kinda heafty)... yet everyone buys them for their grip.

Rep Power: 423 Speed rating has ZERO to do with the car. You can put any speed rating you want. All the speed rating says is the tire is capable of handling the heat and stress of speed up to a given MPH. No performance tire will come with a rating less than W (130 MPH) anyways. Its just a test of tire compound... it has nothing to do really with the tire's grip or its performance.

Rep Power: 380 It won't. Check out the load index, thats improtant too....
Falken Azenis in 205/50-15 have a load index of 85 and a speed rating of V = they are rated to be able to carry 1135 lbs Each and are safe to run up to 149 mph.
plan on going over these numbers???
