Check out any of the 1 piece forged wheels from Rays (Volks, Gram Lights) or the Yokohama's. I recommend the Volk RE30 or the CE28 or the Yokohama Advan RZ.

Contact Lou at Amplified Motorsport: 323-881-0882. He can hook you up with any of those light wieght wheels and even recommend some other ones.

He's got an unbelievable deal rigth now on a set of Volk RE30 Limited. You probably can't find these wheels at this price anywhere else.

Here's a pic of them:

I know Volks are common and pricey....but very light and strong......I'm runnin Nitto Invo's 255/35/19 and 285/30/19....gonna change em thou not enough grip for me....i'm gonna try dunlop sportmax GT next 255/35/19 and 285/35/19......if your going 285 in the rear I recomend going 35 series...30's is too small....overall diameter

Da Hashi,
So you mean, going thicker rubbers compared to the fronts in the rears?

The RE30 aren't you're only option. You can also get the Volk CE28, or like I stated in my 1st post, the Yokohama Advan RZ.
