RG5's (the ones Cargraphic distribute for Champion and are TUV approved):

Front - 8.5x19 - 18 lbs 2oz
Rear - 11x19 - 19 lbs 13oz.

Much lighter (and cheaper) than than the HREs or the 171s.




Be careful if you're considering the RG5's. If you have roads anything like I have here it's not a wise choice. I've personally been in a Turbo that bent the lip on an average pot hole & have seen 2 other cars w/ the same problem. Down in Florida not as big a deal but not a good wheel for NY roads. Even Champion has advised the 171 is a much stronger wheel. The RG5 is cheaper because it's old technology. It's also pretty bland if you ask me there are much better looking spoke designs. The HRE & the 171 are more expensive but they're both also much better wheels than the RG5. Both lighter than stock without sacrificing too much strength. (from what I've heard & learned recently anyway)
