Trying to figure out what set of wheels I want is overwhelming at best... I've tried the search function over and over again and just looking at wheels and what I think are their respective weights...
Looking for a 19x10(that fits flush with the front fender) and a 19x11(that sits flush with rear fender) that weigh in the low 20lb range.

I was looking to shave about 10lbs per corner from these heavy ass PP wheels but some of the options I was looking for it seems more like 5lbs

Price range is around $400/wheel.
Anything out there?

It was pretty difficult for me to pick out a set of wheels as well, the whole ordeal turns into a game of compromise until eventually you figure out which wheel is going to best meet your needs.

My suggestion is to talk to Paul at PK auto design, he is easy to reach and gets back to you rather quickly. He helped guide me through the process, as well as many others here.

I compromised a little bit on the weight and am getting everything else I love in the MRR M600. At 25 lbs for the 19x10 it's a beautiful wheel.

MRR m350 or Project 6GR?
Neither one, the M600, it's in the sticky at the top of this section. It's a split 5 spoke wheel.

For some reason I had it in my head I could get a forged wheel in those sizes around 22-23lbs. It's just a hard decision to make. Don't get me started on the whole what tire ordeal or what gd color wheel

Forged wheels are hard at that price brotha, you have to go over 2k for a set to gain that but its possible at that price range.

In the 1600 range you have the following

MRR M350
MRR M600
Stance Sf03
Stance SF01
avant Garde M632

As Paul said, forged wheels will be much more expensive. Plus the likelihood of the wheel being made exactly to the S550 Mustang specs to get it sitting correctly is much less. I think most/all are made to fit multiple applications. Meaning you end up with ok or pretty good fitment and maybe using some spacers to get them where you want them. With the flowforged or flowformed process it's a little easier to get a custom wheel, less expensive but weighs a little more. For me, it was worth the extra 3 lbs.

What about Vertini?
Jay from hypermotive recommended them
I think I might have to go with a 10 spoke concave design. I suppose that doesnt look TOO bad. I just wanted something a bit more simple.

The price is right and theyre stating its around 20lbs for a 20" wheel. I want 19" with a DEEP concave

The VS06 would be ideal, but theyre a bit pricey...

Think i'll either go Forgestar CF10 or those Vertini's, I just feel like im settling.
Which one is lighter as a 19x10/19x11 with an offset that will be flush with the fender?

Yes the VS Forged wheels are forged monoblock wheels, their a bit over 2k but well worth it. Im their #1 dealer in the world ( no joke you can ask them).

Their weights come in right at 20.5/21 lbs

CF10 work also their weights are right at 23 lbs

TSW has some pretty light flow formed wheels that are in the low ~20ish pounds. Might want to check some of their offerings.
