What wheels are good for performance gains ?
I looking for 16" lightweight wheels, but they must be strong enough to handle rally conditions (we have bad roads here).
What you can say about magnesium wheels ?
Also tire must be lighter too... So what recomendations ?

Depends...

For the price, you can't beat the price of Rota's.... (see SubyDude.com for lowest rates)... some may say they aren't strong, but 99% of their customers are overly satisfied....

Enkei RPF's are VERY light... a 16x7 is a mere 13.7 pounds...

Not a lot of board members go with 16's, but if you had to get a good, strong, lightweight, OEM quality set, you could try and find some RX7 wheels locally (16x8)...

I think the only issue you are going to have is your location, not sure how much shipping is going to be...

Enkei RPF1 is the way to go. Strong and feathery light.

TE-37 are super strong and super light. I have never seen people bending TE-37 before.

Look for FD rims (3rd gen RX-7). I'd sell you mine, but shipping would probably be prohibitive Check the Buy/Sell section just in case you are interested.

What is TE-37 ?

2 Mazda Gremlyn
I'll think about it, but the shipping could be a lot more than price of wheels
How much they weight without tire.

 

[Mazda Gremlyn]

The rims are something like 15 lbs sans tyres. But.... hahaha I just check fedex... you want to spend $1500 on shipping?

Volk racing TE-37

TE-37 are basicly the "icon" for import wheels. Rays probably produce this wheels for almost 10 years now. TE-37 are pretty much the lightest and strongest road wheels. The wheel only weight 10lbs for 16inch. If you are looking for top of line performance wheel with a very classical 6 spoke look, TE-37 is the only way to go.

I actually looking for light weight and strong construction
The look is latest thing I looking for...
TE-37 anyway looks cool

So I think I'll go with 16x8.0 +42

BTW.
How much cost Volk TE37 16x8.0 +42 ?
And the main thing - where to get them ?
