Only?! 19lbs each?

Wow... Let me know how much slower your car is when you get them on.

[DomWoo]

it wont be slower... it will be faster because i will have the turbo tuned and intercooled when i get the car to the point of running

[DomWoo]

do you have steelies on your car? or alloys?

[JohnnyC]

Steelies right now. Eventually I'll be switching to 15" which are 11 pounds each.

if i was looking for coments like that.. i would have joind a honduh forum because i would expect to read something like that from them so please dont be like a honda kid

well good for you on the 15" its your style.. see im not hell bent on racing or "speed" and im not worried about the loss of power do to wheel size because the whole reason i turbod the car wasnt for the speed.. it was to beable to gain the loss power and add to what it was lacking

i like to make my car look nice thats why i have fiberglass rear seat speaker incloser.. not because i want to race my car with a heavy ass speaker box in the back. hell i wouldnt even think about racing the 1.6. if i was hell bent on speed the first thing i would do is find me a c20get and swap it in. and you have to remember that i have 2 lanoses so if i want one to look nice like a "show car" and one to be fast .. then i can do that

[JohnnyC]

It was an honest question and I was shocked at the weight. I hear people talking about how heavier wheels have caused them to lose too much power, so I honestly wanted to know how much slower your car is after you put them on. I guess in your world that makes me an ass.

Paint me as you will but you read far more into what I said then what I said. Perhaps you should make sure someone is attacking you before you lash out at them. I'll reserve comments on your posts in the future as to not upset your delicate sensibilities.

19lbs really isnt that bad.

My track wheels are 13lbs which I consider really light for a 16x7.

[DomWoo]

got the wheels in today.. when i pulled them out of the box it didnt feel like it weighed 19lbs so i put them on my digital scale and they only weigh 14lbs


ordering the rubber today so it should be here in 3 days!!

Bridgestone Potenza G 009
seems to be a good tire with a over all rating of 8.5+ and is second in its class of all season tires

and the best part.. they work in the snow!!!!

[SickDrift]

Yeah, more likely 19lbs is just shipping weight, box and everything. Good looking wheels. Lets see some pics with them on!

[JohnnyC]

14 pounds is a much better weight then 19

[DomWoo]

yeah i would say .. 19 is still light for 17" wheels because most are around 25 lbs but looking at the back of these wheels they took meterial out of every place possible with out messing with the integrity of the wheel they are 6lbs lighter then my 16" adr rever g6 those wheels are built like tanks!!

[JohnnyC]

That's cool. So you got the look you wanted and will probably notice a bit of a speed boost.
