help me pick a light wheel

[OptionZero]

gorillas are cheap and effective

if u want ur lugnuts to be pretty u can ask A Spec for colored ones from Muteki, Rays, Works, or Kics

as for people stealing ur wheels....lug nuts aint gonna stop 'em. Pretty much any one can be defeated by a thief that wants it

if u wanna stop stealing, buy a shotgun

or get a sensitive car alarm with a pager that will at least scare them away if they actually try something

i already have a basic alarm. the wheel lock idea is just to prevent high school kids from taking my wheel. Professional thief can take bmw/merc./exotic car needless to say mine. does anyone uses wheel lock anymore?

[OptionZero]

as I said in my reply, Gorilla makes wheel locks that are cheap and quality. You can get 'em at wheel works or online, just google for 'em.

No wheel lock will replace being smart; not parking your shit in dangerous spots, not telling people about your car/mods, not pissing off potential thieves, parking in a garage or secure area when possible, blah blah blah

Oh ya and they look a hell of a lot nicer than FNO1c's or RPF's lol IMO

the problem with 57max's is they are relatively heavy (despite the brand name), and therefore have no place in a thread about lightweight wheels

57 max at 17x7 is already heavier than a 17x9 rpf1.
rpf1 at 17x7 is a full 2 lbs lighter
even the fn01r-c at 17x7 is lighter by 1.5 lbs, and its really a midweight wheel

they definitely look nice, but fail for weight and cost

so I got my rpf1 ordered 17x9 +22 and metal hubring 73x66. Now I probably going to get the spl gorilla spline nuts. I'm all set. thanks guys for all your help.

yeah, 57series is cast, RPF1 has that MAT process thing

enkei is cheaper and lighter, so if weight and cost are the issue then u can't really go wrong

i just think they're so incredibly ugly
