But donno whether it is available in 5x120PCD.
An article I find interesting...
Wheels Construction
Forging (including SSF which is a true forging) results in a much stronger wheel. The wheel can therefore
be made lighter than a cast wheel, while still maintaining superior strength. Multi-piece forged wheels have
forged centers and spun rims. Sometimes the rims are spun from forged metal, sometimes they are not. Be
sure to ask the wheel manufacturer which technique they use to make their rim sections.
Casting can be done in a number of ways. The most prevalent are gravity casting (pour the metal into a
mold), vacuum (counter-pressure) casting (suck the metal up into a mold) and low-pressure casting.
Relative wheel strengths are as follows: 1-piece forged, multi-piece forged, vacuum cast, low-pressure cast,
gravity cast. The strengths are only relative because weight (or actual mass) affects a wheel's strength, as
does the actual design. Vacuum (counter-pressure) casting is used almost exclusively by BBS for most of
their wheels. Revolution wheels are an example of low-pressure casting designs.
Tire Weights:
Tire weights are just as, if not more, important than wheel weights. Tires are further from the axis of
rotation and therefore have a larger effect on steering feel, suspension movement, and acceleration and
braking. The lightest tires that are commonly available that I know of are the Pirelli P7000 Summers. Toyo
T1S's are also light, but not as light as the Pirellis. Tire companies will have their weight information, but
you will have to get transferred around a few times before finding someone who knows usually. Some
heavier tires are Falken Azenises and Bridgestone Potenza S-03s. Also remember that larger diameter tires
weigh more than smaller diameter tires. Something to think about when going with plus-sized wheels.
So time to drop S03s and go for PS2s!
