What are some really lightweight wheels besides drag rims? Wanting some really lightweight wheels but just not sure if i want to go drag wheels or not...
what do you guys have that are really lightweight?
id like to keep the wheels at 17" max diameter.
im considering going to a set of drag wheels but i want to be able to drive it to the beach about 3 hrs away...

CCW's are also light. So are Forgelines, DPE, and most of the high dollar wheels. Forged centers, 2-piece or 3-piece construction etc.. all improve strength and reduce weight.
Most of the lower priced wheels are 1-piece cast aluminum and tend to weigh more.

Steve is referring to their road race (RR) series wheels that are meant to be driven hard and put through repetitive heat cycles. Road race, autocross, etc. The weight for this series of wheel is quite a bit more than their drag wheels but still very light weight for it's purpose.
