Default 5 spoke lightweight rims.

I am looking for 4 2002 5 spoke lightweight rims for my car. I am not sure what year they were made. I think they are 2001 and 2002 stock 996 rims. If anyone has a set to sell let me know. thanks Jbrown.

Marc is spot on. I bought mine from a P-Car dealer as take-offs. Great deal.....you just need to be patient.

I'm looking for some lightweight 18inch wheels for reasonable price. Is GT3 rims the lightest of all?

Ernie's Alloys seems to always have them. I purchased mine there. I know that I paid more than I could have; however, he got them to me in 2 days, with new mounted tires ballanced. Overall great guy to do business with. Just expect to pay a little more to get them NOW then waiting for the DEAL of the century to come up.

I think Fikses are as light as you can get.

Actually the BBS wheels made for Manthey Racing are the lightest wheels. Not recomended for rough roads though.
