yes, you are right about advans lighter cast wheel technology. it is due to their 'hollow core cast" technology used in the spokes. theres plenty debate whether a solid cast spoke vs hollow core spoke is better, but thats opening a can of worms that doesnt need to be opened.

forged emotions... mmm tasty

Work Emotions weigh more than the stock wheels so even tho they look cool as **** buy i would not put them on my car just because of the weight.
-Advan RGII are sooooo nice good choice and these weigh substanchley less than stockers so lighter is better!

care to post up some actual numbers rather than just saying they are lighter?

yes the emotions are heavier but i doubt the rg2's are that much lighter. i dont know the specifics weight hence why i am asking.
