If you want to live up to your signature go for the lightest:
Zuffenhaus 3 piece

Thanks Wesayso , but i would prefer 3 parts wheels , like these proposed by Lindseys P3.

Even weight is more important , there are things i can't resist for a long time...........RaaaaAAAAAHH !!!! :)

Opinions ??

Well, they are 3 piece wheels... maybe you can order a set with the bolts showing but they are in there..

CCW and BBS make great wheels also. You may check into Superlite and Ultralite wheels too, I like the way they look but its all personal preference. I run CCW's on my race car and Zuffenhaus on my project/street car. Lindsey's Fuchs are built on cut down 25 year old centers, I'm not big on that.

I just got a set of TruDesign wheels back for my wide body and love them. Send a message to Buckterrier here. He has a set for narrow bodied car for sale that look beautiful and are very reasonably priced.

The zuffenhaus wheels are about 15 lbs - no sure you can improve on that.

I don't know about the weight of the Zuffenhaus 7.5" wheels, but the 9" and 11" set I have weigh about 16 lbs and 17 lbs each, respectively, on my bathroom scale.

JeremyD 03-28-2010 07:12 AM

15.5lbs - that was the weight of my old fronts - the rears were 15.9 (17.8 and 17 x 9) old cabriolet. I have a set of 9's and 11's coming

@ GaryR : i agree with you concerning the age of the Fuchs centers .

@Stormaster : pm to Buckterrier send !!! Thanks !!!

@ Will84911 : splendid wheels , thanks for the link , but in the same look of mines , actually on my car .

@ Wasayso : pm sent to Zuffenhaus , really thanks !!!
