Same answer I gave when you asked for 18 lb CSL style wheels last month. Google for 3 piece custom wheels. They will be more like 20 lbs and will cost $3000 minimum.

I don't know what you already have done, but if you aren't running the oem drilled brakes yet, that will shave 3.1lbs/corner and will allow you to achieve the same net reduction in rotating mass with a slightly heavier wheel which should allow you to find one with the styling you desire.

Wheels & tires are going to have a MUCH greater effect on reducing rotational mass. |

forgestar f14, you can order the same offsets as the arc-8s, they are pretty light and they look good as well, plus they are inexpensive.

Yeah. Um. No.
http://www.**********s.com/Forgestar...8x10-18x11.htm They are "spun" or Rotary Forged. The inside (hub and spokes) are essentially cast, and the "shell" if formed with discs, and during that process the cast material "re-aligns" and becomes "similar" to a shell of a forged wheel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poW0CxMe70A Boom.

The site doesn't say if they are sold as a set of four or individually. Most made-to-order wheels are a lot more than those.

For 18s they are like 1200 for a set, I have the cf5s in 19s and they were 1500. The 18s are about 17-18 pounds.
