Lightweight Wheels
Just thought I'd post this for anyone looking for a lightweight wheel.
The Velox PG-Rev10 is the ultimate in fin design with its lightest weight of 11.5 pounds for 17inch application while maintaining its 690kg load rating.

To be honest, it doesn't say. I assumed it was cause of this.
Velox PG-5S. This new wheel features the best available forging on the market today. Hot Die forging is the use of 10,000 ton presses that slams into heated 6061 aircraft quality aluminum. This process creates the strongest available forging on the market today, allowing the PG-5S 17inch to achieve an ultra low 12.5lbs with load rating of 1364 lbs per wheel.

Actually, the process used by Cenerline, called "spin forging" is better than hot forging.

Well the Centerline set is what I was looking at originally, only thing is I cannot find many places that carry the, I guess you would call them, sport compact side of Centerline, online retailers anyway, haven't checked locally yet.
