Low weight rim suggestions

[DougWantsALeaf]

All,

I am looking for a new set of low weight rims for our other Leaf Plus. Besides the EV01+ from fast wheels (which we have in our other Leaf Plus), any other suggestions?

Thought questions...what is your goal for lighter weight wheels (range, ride quality, 0-60 time, aesthetics)?
Are you only looking at aero wheels?
What size are you looking for?

Real questions: What is the weight of one of your EV01+ wheel? what size is it, diameter, width, offset?

Does the 2019 plus use the same brake calipers as 2018 40kwh, yes, i believe so?

On my 2018 40kwh I use:
Racing Hart cp-035 15x6 10.5 lbs with 17lb tires (Not aero, No longer made, rare).
Winter: Focal X 15x6.5 15.8 lbs with 20 lb tires (Not aero, discontinued?).

I also like the Konig Hypergram (Not aero).
Enkei RPF1 16" is lightish (15" is too small for my vehicle)

If a main goal is range on highway driving than stock wheels or EV01+ are probably best.
Hopefully someone else will post about other aerodynamic wheel options.

Thank you, and yes highway range is main consideration. Every watt taken off of cruising consumption reducing charging need(for the 600 miles in a day) and improves pack cooling (what little there is) as draw is reduced.

I don't have any specific recommendations, just saw that Tire Rack allows filtering wheels by weight.
Those enkei wheels are quoted at under 14lbs on tire rack which is pretty wild to me.
