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 saying is if you shave 1 pound of rotating wieght, that is the equivelant of losing 10 pounds off the entire car.

I was just looking at rims, if you want light, you have to spend 350-400 bucks a rim. and were talking sub 10lbs a rim. ad tires and your looking at 20-23lbs a wheel. I've heard stock rims and tires are like 40lbs

so shaving 15lbs a wheel, should be a rather noticable gain.

I sold my dsm, and all the parts...I bought a 300z that ran a 15 sec quarter at 91 mph...this sucks.
