Rep Power: 0 is 22lbs too heavy for 17's?
I have 17" Axis Touring Cups. According to their website axiswheels.com, the touring cups are 22lbs for the 17x7. How much does the stock 15x6 hubs weigh on the EX? I want to know what the weight difference is between the two. Any help is appreciated. BTW Vtecharry should be a moderator if we ever get a forum called "suspension."

Rep Power: 0 From somewhere I read, it's only about 3 lbs heavier than the stock EX steel wheels(20 lbs). The lightest OEM alloy wheels that I've seen are from a previous generation HX (14" wheel weighing in at 11 lbs.).
Chris, you could get the 14" HX wheels and throw some slicks on 'em for the drags. On the other hand, I believe you mentioned something about autocross so that wouldn't do ya much good I guess.
