12lbs a wheel

:edit: oh wait they're 15x6.5 but close enough :edit:




Holy crap! Those, in 16", are 2 lbs lighter than my K-1s! And cheaper, too. (Too bad they weren't available when I was shopping.) Hmmmm. Bronze + T-red...

Oh well. At least mine are 7.5"




seems to be the wheel of choice among Honda guys...all the good colors seem to be in 4x100 only though

If I was lookin for a performance wheel I'd definitely get them in black

OK, I made a decision: Matte black ATS Comp Lite 15x7 with 205/50 15 Falken Azenis Sport tires. $724 shipped from Discount Tire Direct, but they're not on their website. According to porttuning.com they're 12 lb each, and the "shipping weight" from DTD is 14 lb. Not too shabby ...

those are actually pretty nice

thats a damn heft price for some 15s but considering they're lightweight...its probably worth it.

$101 a wheel is expensive? Maybe in Sri Lanka ...

for a 15" wheel? sorta

I'm just thinking that I paid $100 more than you and my wheels are 2 inches bigger...but like I said, if they're truly lightweight then its worth it

Sri Lanka...very nice place

But what do you do with them? These are for autocross only, where a 17 incher would be detrimental for performance (and the wallet for tires). You'd be surprised how similar in price 15s, 16s and 17s are.

On another note, guess how much the Tire Rack wanted for custom drilled Kosei K1s -- if you didn't guess $179 each, you'd be wrong.
