Where do they sell rims made outta titanium?? How much u guys think titanium 18" rims would weigh?

[Panzer_M]

Cost more than they are worth.

I think the best option is forged alluminium wheels. Like Oz Superleggera or Kosei K1 Racing. I think it's the best bang for the buck!

Or google the companies and look on their websites.
But this is for a guy who is looking to do everything on the cheap?

[cali-ti]

sure ... if you can get 5lb titanium rims for $50, why not? ;)

Magnesium rims are FAR lighter than Titanium or cast Aluminum. Forged aluminum is very light as well, since the wall thicknesses can be run thinner at the same strength. This is typically the best compromise for weight and cost.

Magnesium wheels just like to catch fire, and burn about 5 degrees cooler than the surface of the sun, so they are not easy to get. All light wheels were made of Magnesium at one time. Where do you think the term 'Mags' comes from???

Light and affordible.

Burning magnesium is extremely fun. If you look at it you will also go blind or at least damage your eyes.

Kosei K-1s and Team Dynamics seem to be the best options for light weight cheap rims.
