Inexpensive Lightweight 17" Rims

[AJChenMPH]

I'm probably going to regret this (only because all of you are gonna go buy these and run the stock out before I even order my GTI :biggrin: ), but I found some fairly lightweight 17" rims that should fit the GTI (or any Mk V Golf) without too many problems:

Flik Ftd (matt Titanium)
Size: 17x8
PCD: 5x112
ET: 45
Weight: 18.5lbs
$102 per rim

Bump. Down to $99 per rim.

nice price btw, do u know any cheap price for 18' ?

Sure. Steel Hubcap Rims.

Cheap and light, not cheap and heavy

These would make good trackday wheels I think.

I really like the wheels. When I looked at the website, I noticed that they provide 2 kind of ET, 1 is 45 and 1 is 35. Which one should I get for the MKV?

at least you don't have to worry about hittin' a pothole and destroying the rims, which is kind of priceless sometimes:biggrin:

I posted these up a while back and haven't found much else. I hope rota makes something. http://www.machiii.net/Rota_wheels.html Great wheels, lightweight, and track proven.

 

[frank2287]

yea but there all like 15" and 16"

Well, you're off to a good start by looking at edgeracing.com
They have some amazing prices on both wheels and tires! They also have some black with a plished lip ones for only $99 each too. Not to mention anything is lighter than our 24 lbs stock 17's. :frown:

I like how the car has room for improvement though, going from 24lbs to 16-18lbs should be a noticeable difference.

Tirerack.com seems to have a lot of shitty quality, heavy wheels offered for our MKV's. Our 5x112 bolt pattern isn't very common, so the quality wheel manufacturers aren't making wheels for us. No Kosei's, very few BBS, and no SSR's.

Rota seems to have nice wheels (light) but i dont see anything that would fit our car once again said.

 

[DBCPerformance]

Agreed, i would love to have a set of SSR comps, but neither the size nor the availability

Yea, I too like Rota wheels, I really hope they will make ones that will fit in MKV
