Yeah but be careful because "lightweight" can also mean "will fold like a cheap suit after the first pothole they hit"

I'd rather carry five extra pounds per wheel on a daily driven car and be sure the wheels could survive the 401 Pothole Derby for example.

Just something to think about.

x2 about the daily driver thing ... I think this year I'll get dedicated rims and rubber for the track and keep the stockers and winters for daily driving.

I've seen some very lightweight rims for a lot less money than Rota's ... but as Daniel points out - who know's where they're made and how strong they are.

But we're talking about an 18x8 Kosei rim at 16 lbs for less than 200 US - so that's pretty attractive.
