Track wheel weight

What would be the optimal range to stick with for wheel weight. Would 25lbs be too high to even think of tracking?

If you're going to go lightweight and inexpensive be sure to go with something that's proven (like the RPF1). I've seen cheap lightweight wheels break at the track.

Given that the Detroits weigh about 30 lbs nearly everything out there will weigh less.

Ideally you want to shed as much weight as possible before you get to the point of having structural concerns, but there's no upper limit to what you CAN run. I run some stock Audi A4 17s and they are pretty damn heavy. Hard to argue with a $50 set of track wheels though

Wheels are considered "light weight" when they are around 1 lb per inch diameter.

17" wheels 15-17 lbs
18" wheels 15-19 lbs

you can track any wheel lol but I would prefer to keep it under 18lbs. my 17x9 RPF1 weights 15.1lbs a corner.

Bolt pattern 5/114.3? Wooble bolts?
Mine (RPF1 too) are 18" 16.9lbs. Wouldn't mind to go smaller.
