15 inch steelies are heavier then 15 inch alloys b/c I had a set of steelies on my ryde way back in the day and then moved onto the 15 inch alloys when I had the opportunity.... :roll:

Your solution...
These 11lb 15" wheels plus 225/50/15 20lb tires = 31lb total. prob 40% less then what you got right now. All for $300 shipped/mounted/&balanced.

You may as well get a complete set of lightweight wheels. Fully forged are the lightest and strongest you will find but the most expensive.

Thats why I like OZ Superleggera. The lightest and strongest you can get (supposedly) and of course, you get what you pay for. OZ = $$$$$$

Speaking of OZ...

These are 9.5lb 15x7 and are $214 each.

Thats very nice, but a little out dated.
Savini isn't even mentioned and the new OZs aren't listed. Thats like 2004 models. I know OZ have more than one size of forged wheels.
