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?

I've read 22-23 pounds for most of the 1G stockers. Weighed a bare 1G laser rims yesterday. 19 pounds. I'll weigh some of the others just for kicks when I get ahold of bare ones for comparison. So, far though it looks like ironicly the ugliest (IMHO) wheels of the 1G's are also going to be the lightest

As far as the 10 pound aftermarket rims, although I lust after them, the pricetag puts them way down on the list as far as future purchases.

By the way, I've done some research and it looks like RX7 rims went up in weight in the later 3rd gen years. The lightest year was the '93 from what I read but reputed to be brittle. Might be an internet myth though.
