Someone mentioned these wheels on an older post, but they are very expensive, but very light.
Deciding on whether to get 18's in the front and 19's on the back. If someone figures out how to remove the parking brake then it would be 18's all around to choose from a wider selection of slicks. I want the Forged Magnesium wheels and I'm hoping someone here has a source that can copy and make these in the sizes and offset I will want. There are very few wheel companies that make forged magnesium wheels. If not, there are other levels less expensive, but are not as light. Help me make a decision

The red colored carbon fiber overlay would amazing with my Magma red automatic
 
So in UK money about a ten grand. Ouch !!
Would love a set, but no way I could justify that expense. I'd be better off spending less than that on driver training
 
That was me that posted about litespeed racing. First thing you have to decide is what's your budget. That's going to determine what you get more than anything else. Their Mag+ monoblock would I think be the best ratio of weight savings to expense, unless you have an unlimited budget.

If you contact @Aerie who is one of the forum sponsors, they can make pretty much any design you ask for, but it would be forged aluminum. They'll be lighter than the factory wheels, but they'd be under $3k, at least at the moment depending on what happens with tariffs. I had them make a custom set (factory dimensions) to a design I wanted which ran about $3,300 including shipping and everything. All 4 wheels combined weigh 23.5 lbs less than the factory wheels. They're factory spec 20" though; if you get 19" wheels or a staggered 18/19 setup those will be even lighter. Just make sure you have tires sourced in the sizes you'll need before ordering wheels.

The litespeed wheels would be about 18 lbs lighter for a set than a forged aluminum equivalent from Aerie, but they'd be triple the cost. Depends on what you want to spend, and your performance goals. Another thing to consider for a track set, is replacement cost for a wheel if you bang one up. If you go staggered, you could have another full set of Aerie wheels for backup and still be thousands less than a single set of litespeed wheels.
