Lightweight wheels

[BillyEdmonds]

Wondering if anyone knows a nice, very lightweight wheel for the Escort.
looking for either forged aluminum or magnesium in 18x8 or 18x9.
I'd like to get something very light.
Would love some insight or recommendations.
Any idea how much lighter the OZ WRC or Cromodoras are than the 18 Escort replicas ?

thanks

Team dynamics are light , 9 kg ni 8X18

They pop up on eBay pretty regularly. But structural integrity will always be a crap shoot with old magnesium.

Thanks. I had considered those & even thought about a redrill but doesn't seem like it's worth the effort.
Sent these people an email to see if they'll make a custom set.

In an 18x8 they're only 17lbs / 7.7kg.

Those were just meant as an example of what’s out there. But, I’m sure you know that if cost is no object, most of the high end wheel manufacturers will do one-off three-piece wheels.

if your obsession is the weight also pay attention to the weight of the tires ..... for example in 235/40/18 a federal rsr weighs 12,5 kg against 9,5 kg in the same size in michelin sport cup2 ... .

group buy

i would imagine they cost quite a bit

[VADreamer]

I think the design of these fits the Escos well. Still have a rally feel.
