Wow that is wheel iss super light. But how about the rigidity of it? Lighter wheels are very expensive anyways. But is it possible to get both lightweight and strength at the same time even with the price? I thought lightweight wheels are only used for circuits.

Have a nice day

I believe the Forged aluminum is about 300% stronger then cast aluminum, and its lighter as well, most big time names like VOLK, SSR, etc are all super strong and super light. if it says forged its both light and strong

I had 15x6.5 Volk ce28's on my crx, and they were 8.1lbs, its better for your car, It's called unsprung weight, anything outside the springs, every 10lbs you save its like knocking off 100lbs of sprung wheight.

Say factory wheels are 20lbs x4 thats 80lbs of wheels and then he goes to 11lb wheels x4 thats 44lbs with a difference of 36lb weight savings, and if every 10lbs of unsprung is 100lb sprung then thats a saving of 360lbs that the car feels, thats like a really fat guy sitting in the car with you
