RH CP8 Wheel 17x7.5 15.8lbs $215 each from Rspeed

This wheel is slightly heavier than the forged Centerline RPMs in similar 17x7 size, The CP8 used to be more expensive and a few people do have them.
I have changed out my S-lites for the Centerlines and the weight savings of roughly 11 pounds for each wheel makes a huge difference on acceleration.
At constant velocity it doesn't help. The non runflat tires are good at smoothing out the ride and providing more grip depending on the tire you choose.
