I have the 01 EX 15x6 Steel Radials... They are approximately 23lbs for the wheel alone and the stock firestones are approximately 20lbs.
Overall, total wheel/tire combo is around 43lbs.

My stock Si wheel tire combo, weighs about the same as Konig Tantrum w/205/40/17's on it, we did a test by just holding them in our hands.

hehe, don't be so sure dude, higher performance, thinner sidewalled tires are still fairly wide, and can often times weigh quite a bit. our stock tire weight is exceptionally light...

Forge Wheel are the lightest, but very expensive, however it is worth the money because they come with high quality, performance and style. For those who wants affordable and light wheels, get Rota SubZero 18" for 18 lbs, Nippon Racing Evo 17" for 14 lbs, but they are cast constructed wheels.

I think I'll go for my 17"x7.5" Kosei RT Penta's wrapped in 215/45/17 Kumho Ecsta 712's.

The rims weigh an estimated 17.75 pounds (based on data from 18's and 15's). The tires weigh 23 pounds.

That's a total of 40.75 pounds per wheel. At least that doesn't go over the stock EX's 43 pounds. Hum... Maybe I can do better?
