I am just wondering I am looking for a rim that is white I am having a hard time between the work cr kai in white or the Rota circut 8 which of these brands are better, I am looking for 15".
 
i gotta say neither and go for an original set - volk te37s - rays rs (if i remember right)
 
Work emotion cr kai's are about 1000x better than anything made by rota. Work Wheels as a company is far better than rota. The emotion cr kai's are lighter, stronger, and nicer looking than rota curcuit 8's (a volk ce28n knock off) and the curcuit 8's aren't even offered in white.
 
is the Volk wheels really that light???!

I mean i pick up the OEM wheels and already think wow its light.

how light are all these super light weight wheels?!!:angry2:
 
a 17"te37 is still a kilo lighter than a standard rim :) even in 17"!
 
In 15x6.5" Volk TE37 is 3.9kgs, the Slipstream (now in Time Attack colours!) is the lightest rim Rota do, in 15x7" it weighs 4.9kgs, okay for a cheap trackday rim.
 
If you have the money you can get:

Mugen MF10
Volks te37s or CE28N
Spoon SW388
Desmond Regamaster Evo (same as Spoon wheels)
SSR Spec C
Advan RG

This wheels weight around 8 - 10 pounds (in 15" size). You can't go wrong in any of these wheels, it all depends of your budget.

If you don't have a "big" budget rota slipstreams are good option, I don't know if they come in 5 x 114.3, but I'm pretty sure yes.

Remember this is very important since you loose un-sprong weight, also just in case you know the OEM ek9 wheels weight 15 pounds :(
 
if your defo gettin the 2 you mentioned. id go rota c8's. copy of the mugen mf8 wheels. look very nice in bronze but try to get mugen centre caps if they fit
 
dude Advan RG are old and very hard 2 find. and dont even think about getting the RG II.
sure they eazy 2 find, but they is just as heavy as OEM EK9 rims!
 
Buddyclub SF looks good and light, they look like SSR Spec C or Advan. TE37s in 15s look stubby, you need 16s with these.
 
rota or work? thats got to be the easiest choice ever! work ftw!! i have the work emotion in 15x7 i love them!!

Why to eat him alive?? Your phrase doesn't only have the same meaning, but its also meaningless as it duplicates your claim that RG2 have the same weight with OEM ones which is false dude. :angry:
