Dont worry after paying for snazzy light alloys your wallet will be much lighter

just stop eating and you will save weight....cheaper than carbon fibre using high fibre

Ive got a set of alloys that aint heavy looking for a home

Stick a duratec in, then change the wheels

If you want light you need to be looking at 13's anyway

If you are set on 15s then look at the new Rally Design ones.

There was a car racing with these wheels fitted, they're made by Braid.. I'd never heard of them, but have had a google, and they're made in Spain.

..anyway, I picked one up, now admitedly the ACB10s are a contributing factor, but they are as light as a feather! Got talking to the guy, and he reckons they're lighter than anything Compomotive do. I haven't been able to track down that particular wheel on the net, but maybe other Braid wheels could be worth looking at.
