Lightweight 18's in Polished or Chrome?

I have been looking forever to find the rims I want. I have a 02 Silver Coupe and I really want 18's in polished or chrome but weight is a factor to me. I really like Axis Se7ens but they weigh like 24 pounds. So does anyone know of any fairly lighweight 18's???

if your worried that much about weight, i'd say stay away from 18s.
but maybe this will help wheel weight guide. forged are light but also make a hole in your wallet

edit: OZ Superleggera 18s only 18lbs, not sure how they look tho
edit2: and as for chrome, you could forget about it cause lightweight and chrome dont go together

actually these wheels come in chrome, and 18's are around 14lbs. they're centerline rpms. hard to find, but u can call a local wheel and tire shop and ask, last time i called the were around 1200 for 4. not too bad [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

18" chrome that weighs 14lbs? are you serious? doesn't chrome alone weigh like 4lbs. even if they were polished its hard to believe. do you have a link to them?

Lightweight and Chrome.....[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

18s and lightweight.....[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I would be looking at 17" at the most if you are looking for something lightweight. Also, I don't car how light the wheel is, the bigger the wheel, the bigger the tire, and I would bet that most 18" tires weigh in around 25-30lbs each.

well, i'm not 100% sure on how much the chrome weighs or how much 18's weigh. they advertise 17's as 13.5lb, and 19's as 14.89lbs, i don't recall the 18's weight but i would guess it's in between. to lazy to look it up. the site is www.centerlinewheels.com u just have to find a dealer in ur area and ask them how much [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Yeah I know it sounds dumb lightweight and chrome is the same sentence but I really just don't want 17 or under and don't like any other finish besides polished or chrome so I figured I'd try to get as lightweight as possible. Thankyou every one who has posted helpful replies.

I have the Centerline RPM's in the 18" size and they are polished! Very light wheels. Only 14.5 lbs. Almost look chrome but are not; just highly polished. For even more shine you can get a hold of some Mother's Billet polish and make the wheels have almost a mirror-like finish.

I'd highly recommend these wheels. Strong (rotary forged), Lightweight (14.5lbs), and a totally unique design. By the way, these wheels come in Silver (painted), Polished, Black opal, White, and Bronze.
