You do realise that some manufacturers are already doing 'modern' 19" that weight less than 7.5 killos right? (+/-15lbs)

Below would be one of them. Clearly not a good news for all the cast fat-round wheels manufacturers e.g. porsche oem wheels. Today, I'd say there is nothing more heavy than original porsche wheels! My 19" on my MY97 are few grams lighter than the original fugly 17" twist things that comes with car



I pass all the other that we know already about that makes carbon fiber / magnesium wheels, ect...

Below is a 13lbs 18" wheels for instance



Leaving out the 20+ other worldwide custom shops who does team wheels on a need basis
