I've found it before but now that I'm looking for it again I can't seem to find the site that covers DSM wheel weights in depth. Seem to remember reading that stock weight is roughly 23 pounds but I'd like to confirm that.
I'm considering going with a set of RX7 TT rims as my research seems to indicate that they can be had cheaply and supposedly weigh 13.5 pounds. Any other reccomendations there though? I'm liking the looks of my 2001 rims but thinking that I might be better of selling them off if I'm serious about this weight reduction thing. Guess I'll go home and weigh one of the old Laser Rims for starters but I'd like to see a chart that references them all. I know I've seen it somewhere. Any direction or reccomendation out there? How much do those forged 17's you're running weigh Kris? -------------------- |

the k-1's weigh 17 lbs. if you want those 01 rim's you'd better come get them.
I don't think you're ever going to save weight on rims. Lightweight rims are going to probably weigh about the same as the OEMs as soon as you slap some high quality tires on them. My k-1's with the kumho's weighed the same as the OEM with pirelli P6000's. Now, yeah, that's lighter than a set of 19's with blinging chrome, but that's just the antithesis of performance and out of the realm of anyone with with a shred of common sense. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food
