ive heard that they weigh more but i didnt buy my car for horsepower or speed, i bought it because it was cheap, has good resale, looks good and is a honda.

if i want to do the quarter in 12 seconds ill drive my 75 chev nova ss, if i want to go on a road trip(and look good) ill take the vic!!

besides, isnt the stock 15 inch steel rim around 24 lbs anyway so i really wouldnt notice a big difference in the ride?? speed does not matter to me...


and also im sure there is a fair difference in price between the rims, that is more concerning to me then the weight factor..
