Light Rims

What do you think of the Jax Light rims? 12.9 lbs I found them on Discount Tire Direct.

I think Voiceofid said he agrees with JBlazeVA. Anyway looks and weight are equally important to me. Size wise I'm looking at 15" rims.

Those VOLK TE-37 look nice and they're light weight, but unless they were selling them in pairs , they're pretty expensive.

Btw, my Civic's silver.

Speaking of light rims...I just ordered a set of the Konig Sub-Zero's and they should arrive on friday. They weigh in at 16lbs each, which I thought was pretty good for 17" wheels. What do you guys think? Also, does anyone know how much a set of the 14" stock steel wheels for the LX weigh or where I could find out without removing them?

Yeah, I agree with 2hondaz, the subzeros are light and look pretty nice. If you got the cash though, go with the real deal Racing Hart CP035s. Those are not as expensive as the volk i believe and look pretty nice with a decent lip width. If you wanna stick with Volk, theres a pretty good deal right now on www.importhookup.com for the Volk Gram Lights. There 17s with tires for like 1500 if my memory serves me well. Well, hope you find rims you like and performs, becaue I kinda believe rims can either make or break your car. -----Whoops, sorry. Missed the part that you said you want 15's. Well then the TE37s are perfect for you right now, but the cp-035s aren't bad either. If you like showey, think they have the cp-035Rs out, which are chromed...haha. Blinging in your racing wheels.

My stock rim covers have grown on me. I think they look pretty classy with my silver EX. Maybe I should just change the tires. Rims don't make the biggest difference in handling (if I keep them the same size) do they?
