Why 16's or 17's?? The weight for these is not that bad for 18" wheels. I checked the manufacturer's web-site and I think that they checked in at about 24lb each. I know that they aren't the 16-17lb RX-7 rims but honestly in my opinion wheel weight isn't that huge. I mean it makes a difference if you are getting solid chrome 18-20" rims that weigh 30+lbs. Yeah, that's stupid. I look at it this way I have what, an extra 30-35ish extra lbs now with my rims over someone with the RX-7 rims? I'm also a college athlete who is in good shape and probably make up for that weight by not being a middle-age guy with a beer belly . Just kidding.
