Ok, so they may not look as good or be of as high a quality as Volks or Racing Harts, but if you want light-ass forged rims, Centerline of all companies makes some for imports. Check it: http://www.centerlinewheels.com/w_catalog/fwd.html

According to an ad on page 39 of the May 2002 Motor Trend, their 17" RPM wheels weigh 13.5 lbs, and their 19" RPM's weigh 14.89 lbs. They also claim that a Honda Accord experienced a 6 hp gain switching from 24.5 lb cast alloy wheels to their 17"forged wheels, and another Accord gained 4 hp switching from the stock 15" steel wheels to their 17" forged wheels. Believe it or not.

I looked at these before I got my Kosei's a few months ago. THey are very nice and I would take them over the Volk's any day. They run about 300 a piece. They are alot stronger then the Volk's or Racing Hart's. I'm an engineer so I know the strength of the material's they use. The centerlines have a little give but will not permanently bend like some other wheels of similar weight. THe kicker is they are made to order. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks from the time the order is placed. Centerline has been doing wheels for a very long time and put a damn good product. THey are one of a few USDM aftermarket companies with there ducks in a row. Unfortunately, I could not wait that long so I went with the K-1's
