I am shopping for wheels for my RX and want to keep the weight down. Anyone know what the factory 18" five spokes weigh so I have a reference point.

 

22 lbs

 

Our 05 wheels where 21.5 lbs per USPS scale with center cap and no wheels weights.

 

What size wheel are you looking to go with??

Keep in mind the weight is relative to size when it come to aftermarket wheels for the most part.

Ex.
OEM 18x8 22lbs $$$
Aftermarket Work wheels 18x9.5 24.5lbs $$$$$$$
Aftermarket Advan RS 19x9 20.4lbs $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

If your looking to really keep the weight down, well i hope you got deep pockets. Anything under 20lbs your talking big bucks.

 

Unless They're Enkei RPF1's.

 

^...or 5zigen FN01R's or OZ's or at least another half dozed wheels. Lots of wheels under 20 lbs that arent a whole lot of money...TR motorsports wheels from tire rack...Kosei's...

 

Enkei PF01 18" those are around 18lbs per Tirerack. I am also thinking the Conti DW max performance summer at 22lbs/corner. Those have good reviews and are substantially lighter than any Bridgestone out there. (factory RE040 27lbs.) I see a lot of people worried about wheel weight, but no know worries about tires. That is a lot of rotational mass at the outside of the wheel.

I bought the car used with Yoko S.drives and I cannot wait to get rid of them. These are the noisiest tire on any car I have ever had. I do not recommend them.

 

hmm, never used the S. drives myself but have heard nothing but good things about them before.

 

I knew some was going to say that.......
The PF01 is one of the few exception to the rule. They were designed for the track-- light and decently priced.

moving on................................................ ........
