if RM1000++++ can go for LENSO Maglite....also consider lighter than taiwan RIM, but cannot compared with thoese RPF1 or TE37.....

 

[davidv00]

Evo regamaster and VR Te37 Weight +- 4kg. is one of the lightest and toughest rim in the world.

well, friends also giving good comments on these stuff, but the problem is i hardly find the size that i want.:_: otherwise its sky high expensive due to supply demand theory.

Don't forget to weight the tires also. Light weight wheels are useless, if you use heavy tires. For me, i'm not into how light or heavy the wheels is. But more how they distribute the wheels momentum weight. No manufacturer would bother to tell you that. And only 2-3 piece wheels offer that. With light tires, should be very nice.

from experience, when looking for light weight wheels. dont just look at how light they are but see if they are strong as well. If you want cost effective light weight.. the lenso's racin harts etc.. but they are not as tough. i.e if go through pothole.. well you know..

So branded or good quality lightweight wheels like volks, rays, 5zigen, regamaster, enkei etc etc are worth buying, but you also face security issues..

life's like that..
