I was browsing for PP wheel direct replacement and found this on tirerack.
Its crazy lightweight for 20lbs each and can take the PP tire. Its made in China but is flow formed. Price is at mid range, I wonder how is the quality..

Wow that is a really light weight wheel. Nice looking wheel and the price is good too for a flow formed wheel. Only problem I see is the offsets are not very aggressive. What are the offsets for the factory PP wheels?

EDIT: Not sure I'd totally trust the weights. They list the 19x8.5 as heavier than the 19x9.5? That makes no sense.

Its kinda plain and flat looking compare to the fancy wheel design today. But probably the cheapest flow form 19 I have ever seen. Saving 12lbs per corner is no joke either, close to 50lbs for the 4 corners.

This bimmer guy also report 19lbs weight though, if its the wrong weight I would assume people can feel it right away.

I think the silver looks better and shows off the spoke design better. Can't tell from the picture but they look to be slightly concave in the rear. I do think they look pretty cool. I like the open design, especially if you have nice calipers to show off. Again, just not sure about the offset though for the mustang, as I like an aggressive offset.

Offset is similar to the MMD wheels on American Racing, and I like how those look on my car. Though the fronts could use a bit more poke, so I have 3mm spacers.

Weight is good, and silver definitely looks better.

So apparently these wheels are Gram Lights 57FXX's exact copy, even the wheel cap is very similar. Gram Lights 57FXX weight around 22lbs for 19inch.

Damn, that looks good! Wonder how they'd look on an S550

I for one would be very skeptical of those weights. No way the 19 x 9.5 is lighter than the 19 x 8.5. And I would also be skeptical of quality claims for anything made in China.

I think tirerack probably got the number wrong, I found these numbers from other dealer. Its not superlight but not bad at all actually. about 32lbs saving from all 4 wheels.

In terms of made in china.. probably 90% of the aftermarket wheels are made in China or some where in Asia (excluding Japan) these days unfortunately. Even if some are machined in USA, the blanks are still coming from China. If the wheel is less than 400$ a piece, more than likely it will be coming from China, that including most of the big name wheels on the forum. Basically if the manufacture claims the wheel is "designed in USA", the actual wheel is probably coming from Asia somewhere.

Good information. Thanks yjack. 23.4 lbs and 24.9 lbs sounds more reasonable for the weight.

 

[101charley]

They are

since Hybris is not as light weight as I think.. this maybe a better choice for cheap light weight wheel. Enkei is flow formed too although they called it MAT instead. The weight seems to be close to what people are reporting, 20lbs for 18 and 22lbs for 19, although tirerack's number is probably reversed between front and rear.
