In Reply to: Thank you, a couple more questions please (more) posted by Baby ///M3 a.k.a. Jon on March 12, 2001 at 17:09:14:

"Do these different wheels you mentioned weight the same?"
Nope, not even from the same manufacturer. BBS RX's are cheaper, but weigh more then the RC or RK. Why don't you narrow down your price range first!

"I am also thinking about AC Schnitzer type III 18' rims. Are they lighter than the BBS ones?" No, the Schnitzer rims are lighter then other Schnitzer rims, but aren't as light as a BBS RC or RK.

"Other than Fiske wheels, is there any other wheel that weights lighter and performs just as well in terms of built quality?"
There are hundreds of custom wheel manufacturers like Fiske. The price point is the real factor you need to identify. But sticking to mass produced wheels like BBS I would also recommend SSR wheels. They are very lightweight, strong and inexpensive.
