looking for an easy, semi-cheap lightweight wheel/tire combo. would like to stick with 16's. probably going to be the cheapest, right? saw some "extreme" performance tires for stock wheels that would shave 3 lbs. at each corner, so as close to ap1 stock wheel size as possible would be good. anything 5 lbs. lighter than stock fit the bill? any other ideas/suggestions? thanks a lot.

 

Rota Slipstream.

 

they look good!

this is probably sacrilege to ask, but can you put 15's on this girl?

 

No, rota slipstreams can be had for cheap in 16s, sometimes less than 500$. I bet you could make an offer on this listing and walk away with them for 5.

ah, hell! i was thinking ~$500 a wheel! whoops; lol.

 

are those the recommended offsets for the s2k? i see they have some other options on their site.

 

yeah, they have 16x7's in +40, 45, and 48; 16x8's in +40, 48.

 

+48 would be the best if you don't want to roll your fenders. 7" +45 in the front will work as well, it's only 3mm difference.

 

and it looks like stock tire size is still in specs for these, right?

 

Yes.
