Lighest wheels
This might be the wrong place for this, sorry Im having enuf trouble alreay. if it need moved them plese move it if you have the power
anyways- I am just wondering what the lighteset rim is for our cars??? i got the EX so it came with 15s, but maybe 14s would be better? i am just going for power and quickness and such, thats why i dont want 18s or anything. the 17s ive got are just too heavy. in mags i someties see ads with the weights listed, but not always. any input would be awsome!!!

Rep Power: 0 There's alot of light weight wheels out there...... many are competition style rims, which are small.... under 17's.... But you don't have to sacrifice style and size.... there are also many 17-18 inch light weights out there also....

The lightest rims on the market are Spoon rims. They weigh only 8 pounds!!! But they are expensive as hell.

I couldn't agree with you more. I'm thinking about switching to these wheels sometime this summer.

Rep Power: 326 I'm either going with Arospeed RS-GTs in gunmetal, or the rota subzeros in either gunmetal or bronze. How do you think the dark bronze will look on a nighthawk black pearl civic?

Rep Power: 0 Just in case anyone is still watching this thread. Three weeks ago I mounted my old Potenza RE-730's (205/50/15) on new Kosei K1 Racing 15x7's. My winter tire package (195/65/15 on TSW 15x7 Alloys) weighed in at 40 lbs. for each wheel/tire, the kosei setup runs 33lbs. It was definitely noticable, especially when accelerating at freeway speeds.
