My 'super mini' wheels, the original super trax from Japan are not super light, but were lighter than the starr mags I had. I understand that the Hudersfield Super trax is actually lighter than the ones I have.
Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Compomotive CXRs are the lightest one piece wheel I believe.
Got A GTM With A Honda In the Back, and huge Nitrous bottle where the passenger seat should be when racing!

Ok I ment Alloy wheels not exotic magnesium 8-) due to the costs etc. CXRs were one of the lightest alloys a few years ago, one reason I bought them for the GTM, they are about £110 a wheel depending on exact specs, I got mine direct as i wanted a specific offset.

Magnesium wheels are made of an alloy.

Youre bot being silly, but if you want light wheels why are you going for 13"?

i'm not disputing the weight, its just theysa re not forged, i don't know where this info has come from but even KAD state they are sand cast, and by the look of the finish iv'e seen this would be the case,
