Actually if you get the right rim, they have a substantially lighter 9.5" than stock. The Enkei's offer a rim that will give you 9.5" all the way around with the weight being around 17-18 lbs., a good 5 lb. reduction in unsprung weight.

Dont want to steal the thread, but i was wondering, with the 9 inch wide wheels, what size tires would you guys recommend wrapping them with?

thanks.
