for 19", 11.5kg and 12.5 kg. not say very light hor.

thanks WH

OZ Superleggera (Forged) 19x8 is onli 21.5lbs.
But donno whether it is available in 5x120PCD.

An article I find interesting...

Wheels Construction
Forging (including SSF which is a true forging) results in a much stronger wheel. The wheel can therefore
be made lighter than a cast wheel, while still maintaining superior strength. Multi-piece forged wheels have
forged centers and spun rims. Sometimes the rims are spun from forged metal, sometimes they are not. Be
sure to ask the wheel manufacturer which technique they use to make their rim sections.
Casting can be done in a number of ways. The most prevalent are gravity casting (pour the metal into a
mold), vacuum (counter-pressure) casting (suck the metal up into a mold) and low-pressure casting.
Relative wheel strengths are as follows: 1-piece forged, multi-piece forged, vacuum cast, low-pressure cast,
gravity cast. The strengths are only relative because weight (or actual mass) affects a wheel's strength, as
does the actual design. Vacuum (counter-pressure) casting is used almost exclusively by BBS for most of
their wheels. Revolution wheels are an example of low-pressure casting designs.

Tire Weights:
Tire weights are just as, if not more, important than wheel weights. Tires are further from the axis of
rotation and therefore have a larger effect on steering feel, suspension movement, and acceleration and
braking. The lightest tires that are commonly available that I know of are the Pirelli P7000 Summers. Toyo
T1S's are also light, but not as light as the Pirellis. Tire companies will have their weight information, but
you will have to get transferred around a few times before finding someone who knows usually. Some
heavier tires are Falken Azenises and Bridgestone Potenza S-03s. Also remember that larger diameter tires
weigh more than smaller diameter tires. Something to think about when going with plus-sized wheels.

So time to drop S03s and go for PS2s!

Wah!!! BBS CH 18" at $488??? Crazy!! I recommended Ash(Arsony) to Tai Huat Tires at Thomson road & he got the BBS CH 19" at $420 a piece!!

How?? Good price?? kekekeke :roll:

'The Great White'
 
Thanks for all your input brothers! Alvin666, you know how I can contact these people in Loyang?
 
Alainc u 1 go loyang to buy huh? Is stamford tyres at loyang. Look in yellowpage for their number. U chk out the place at thomson( wilson recommended) 1st. If they dnt have LM mayb can ask they brg in for u cos IMO i find stamford quite Xpensive. I bought my CH 19" wif Perilli P7000 at total $3k.
 
bros....just wanna make a correction to the address above....stamford tires is at lok yang way and not loyang. loyang is at changi side leh.

i recently went there also, lots of selection. and replicas too!

wilson is right....tai huat at upper thomson can usually quote very competitive prices for rims. dunno who he order from leh?? i once asked for PG2s and his price was cheaper than benzline, but benzline told me that tai huat orders from them......hmmmm...

oh...rem to check out EZ imports and ferrari around the lok yang area too...

cheers....
 
thank you to you all helpful bros!! I will find out more before making a purchase... I will be getting my ride this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!! yippie!!!!!!!
