I have searched and searched.... I have read anything from "Possibly 22 lbs" to "Just under 25 lbs" but these seem to be a guess... Has anybody actually weighed a stock RA wheel minus tire yet? I have read the NOOB section 2x and many other threads, just looking for a definite answer...

 

I have my stock ones laying in my garage with the tires on.....I suppose I can yank a tire off of one and weigh it.

 

I may do the same here in a few days... I just want to know what the gains will be if and when I buy wheels... Im not gonna buy a heavier wheel thats for sure...

 

they weigh 22 pounds, most rims 17 and smaller dont weigh even 20 so i think youd be ok

 

right on.....I totally forgot about this!

 

Sweet so we all might actually lose some weight.

 

wooow! 22!??? WTF, thats freaking heavy!

well now that i think better, its on the rate because 2000 Prelude rims weight like 22-23 pounds too

 

you guys who have 17" rims , the car havent loss performance at all??

let me know please!

 

I highly doubt it (if by losing performance you're thinking larger diameter=heavier=slower).

To put it in perspective, the heaviest 17" wheel on Tire Rack for the RA weighs 21.2lbs, with about half of them under 20. The one I'm looking at weighs 14.2lbs.

 

Nope. Gained some contact patch with 215 wide tires.

 

thats cool, im getting some FN01-R style wheels weight 17 pounds, i should get a 215/40/17 tire?

 

Those fit perfect on my 17x7 rims. 42 offset on the rims is good too.
