Lenso Maglite or LS2. I don't know the exact weight, but Maglite is 5.x kg from what I've read online. I didn't bother to find out cause.. god, its so ugly I rather go blind.
15" R3 wheel weight?

go look for Advanti New Storm DST Series, a new technology call RRF by Advanti, similar to M.A.T. by Enkei, and the New Storm S1(N718) is just weight 4.5kg and Storm S2(N719) just 4.6kg
Storm Series S1
Storm Series S1
if u really compare previous R3 rim with the current 1(the 6 twin spokes on satria Neo race car), the previous 1 was by advanti is actually lighter than the new 1 with R3 wording engraved. if not mistaken something near 5.5KG for the old 1 and 6.5KG for the new 1, i currently using advanti MI 525, stated 4.9KG but 5.2KG actually. Advanti Storm Series really a bang for bucks Rim if u compare Price over weight
u cant compare 15 inch R3 rims with 16 inch R3 rims...if u really compare previous R3 rim with the current 1(the 6 twin spokes on satria Neo race car), the previous 1 was by advanti is actually lighter than the new 1 with R3 wording engraved. if not mistaken something near 5.5KG for the old 1 and 6.5KG for the new 1, i currently using advanti MI 525, stated 4.9KG but 5.2KG actually.

i'm not comparing 15" and 16", what i mean is R3 race car actually using
advanti M7510
while selling different manufacture riim with the same design but heavier rim to public
both are in 15" also......but weight and price are the biggest difference, Advanti around 5KG RM800, R3 around 6KG RM1320(after 20% off)

RM800?

Not only R3 rims. All rims from car manufacturer are always more expensive then aftermarket ones...
i always can get those rim below market price, even the new Advanti S1(N719) i can get below RM900 while market selling RM1000~RM1300.
Agree with u, those Enkei design R3 for Inspira & Preve also more expensive than the ori Enkei price, but at least its enkei and not manufacturer by others factory, that S1K rim really not worth it IMHO. For that price R3 offering just for the rims, i can get a set of Lightweight Advanti pair with 195/50/15 BS RE002/Advan AD08R with trade-in old standard rims+tyres alreadyNot only R3 rims.

Any info about the rigidity of the lightweight rims?
Doubting them since Advanti can go cheap and light but Enkei go light but hellaexpensive

Rigid not necessary good.. Forged rims are more rigid than cast ones, but if they hit a hole hard enough it chips/shatters/cracks..wheres cast ones just dent/deform/bengkok.
I've inspected a SSR Type C forged, up close that had micro fractures.
Considering the roads in Malaysia is less than stellar, I'd personally choose cast rims over forged ones. FWIW I've used both.

Ohh? I thought a forged rims suppose to be bent only? And a normal cast one will break?
A rigid rims can improve your steering feedback and lap times according to a Japanese magazine.
Forgot which tho.
that's right.. forged doesn't mean it cannot be bent. advantage of forged rims is that it can be lighter than cast but maintain its rigidity. not necessarily it is more rigid than cast.
even the daddy of japan rims (ce28n) can bengkok. just buy any good wheels you like.. just that forged rims can give you "baller" status
even higher status if combined with BBK :top:hehehe
