Lightest 18X9 front and 18X12 rears? I know CCW 505 are very light. I have the crome Z06 wheels with 345 BFG Drags and they are heavy.

 

How much money do you want to spend?

DYMAG (carbon, magnesium)
FIKSE(every road race car in the world runs these)
BOGARTs
CCW
KINESIS

 

Less than $3,000?

 

Bogart d-10s 17x4.5 and 17x.10.50( For street ) and 16x 9.75 Track

 

Does frt tires stick out frt fender with those wheels??

FYI: CCW 505s are not light. If you want light, stick with stock Z06 wheels or look into other options. Look at what the road race guys run. CCW classics are an option, they are lighter, but not by much. Can't beat a CCW drag package, now those are light. BTW I have CCW classics, 505s and a drag package and have had them all on the scale at one point. John at CCW is great to deal with. Great product for a reasonable price.

 

Call Cartek and ask what rim Roy was putting a tire on last Sat. Looked kinda like a Bogart but was the lightest rim I ever held in my life. The rim on my BMX bike was heavier. I guess it depends on what you are going to do with the car. I would not want to run on drag packs all the time but that's just me.
