Which HFP wheel is lighter?

The EP-R5 16x6.5



Or the SS-7 16x6.5"



I know the SS7 is about 19lbs. Any idea on the EP-R5?

Really? That kind of sucks. I'm not going to sacrafice performance that much for these wheels if that's the case.

I was hoping the 5-spoke would be lighter. Oh well, looks like aftermarket for me.

Yeah I have a Factory performance civ, I got 2 spare 7 spoke wheels in my spare bedroom because some clown F-ed up on tire mounting. They are heavy, but durable, and very good quality. I like the OEM look but most people wouldnt pay big dough for 16s.

Exactly why I'm saving to get the SS7s.
I'd prefer paying a little bit for wheels that have an H but can be durable, especially with the condition of the roads over here in Puerto Rico.

I have the 7 spoke wheels on for a whole season now (well spring and summer and 1/2 of fall)
They are really durable, but heavy. Handling is awesome with them and some decent high performance tires. I myself had 205/50/16 toyo proxes 4s and they are superb. Its an excellent setup for a civic and you wont have too much tire wear as with some stickier high performance tires which barely last 10,000 miles.

After about 6-8 K miles on them the fronts are worn down alot, which with an LX auto I dont know how, but the rears are like new. I will 100% surely get another season with the good ones on the front and even 1 more season following that. They ran me $430 mounted and balanced and everything installed, but for 3 years of non-winter driving on them I cannot complain.

Performance wise you shouldnt be looking at 6.5" wide wheel any way....
