You are about to cross into the doomed area.

American Classic Sprinters are a great light weight wheel in the under 1600 gram area and they have a set of mag rims that are closer to 1200 grams. You can get them on sale sometimes for between $750.00 and $1000, respectively. Thinking of saving for those wheels myself.

If I had the cash to throw caution to the wind I would get Zip 202 at $2200.00 with a weight of 1081 grams. Or 404 at 1590 grams but very Aero. But $2200.00 is a pretty big pill to swallow.

But do you want to put $500.00 to $1500.00 worth of wheels on your Pilot?
