Default lightest 17" wheel available

does anybody know what the lightest 17" wheel available for the f-body is? i'm only interested in wheels with the correct backspacing and where grinding isn't involved. i assume the bogarts are only available in 15". i like the weld draglite/prostar xp's but they're right expensive, and i hear that they're almost as heavy as my stock ws6 wheels? what's the truth? thanks. btw, i tried looking this up with the search, but it turned up zilch.

Bogarts are available in 17's. I dont' have enough data to tell you they are the lightest as most rim manufactures don't boast this issue as weight is usually not stressed on that particular size. I can tell you that the Bogart 17's are very light and may just be the lightest on the market.

The style that you would consider would be the "road race" series rims. You can view them at the bottom of my website. There is an LS1Tech memeber whom has a set on his F-body and it looks VERY nice to say the least.

Email or call me if I can help you with any questions or concerns you may have.
