Lightweight show/racings rims working thread

I admit it. I like to track things on charts. If I am looking for the sexiest and lightest wheel, it makes me happy to be able to look it up on some chart of the lightest wheels and then check out the others that may be lighter.

I see tons of offset/rim threads, but no authoritative tables of rims/offsets that will fit my 20xx sedan/coupe.

You don't have to vote yes or no. If you ever wanted to look up the specs for a certain wheel, but google was just too much(especially to compare 3 different brands), just help me gather the pertinent stats. As I am a noob, it wouldn't hurt to tell me what you would like tracked. I will figure out the best formatting to compare and contrast and maybe even hotlink in the pix.

If everyone thinks this is a bad idea, just ignore this thread. If you like the idea, let's start on the lightweight/racing styles and I will add in other style sheets later.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Light weight wheels are not cheap though.

Any one piece Volk/Advan wheels are light weight.

this is correct!

on a side note, my friend has the Advan RS-D, I held it up with tires and it's light as hell!! (especially compared to my 2-piece Volk)

Thanks for the feedback so far. I'll get on it after my day of shower renovation work is done.

I initially thought that Review meant "please review/help" but after posting I realized it was for a product review. Can someone help me fix it? Thanks.
