Default 17x7.5 Magnesium Wheels ONLY 9lbs!!
http://www.racelinewheels.com/p-224-...um-90-lbs.aspx

These wheels are 17x7.5 and only 9lbs Load rating 1400lbs each!! 5600lb cars(pretty good strenght to weight ratio). All the popular bolt patterns will be offered. 17x7.5 Volk Racing TE37's= 16lbs almost double the weight

The good... I can get them for around $200

The bad 17x7.5 et40 dark grey finish ONLY (all the bolt patterns but no other sizes)

They will be in the states in about a month. Let me know your thoughts.

www.pacificwheel.com but they aren't available yet. about mid march though and pricing will be around $200.

No they wont bend when you go over a pebble. 1400lb load rating unless your Tc weighs 6000lbs then I take that back lol

why haven't volk, work, enkei, or any other big name companies come out with a magnesium wheel for that price...

9lbs is amazing, but I have my doubts. I kno they are rated to not bend over small potholes, but something is off... anybody else feel this way?
