Re: whats the weight on the gsr blade rims?? (AkiraLite)
Just wanted to add that going from a smaller wheel to a larger wheel will almost always result in a decrease in acceleration due to the increased rotational mass. I felt a tad bit slower after switching from the iCy hOt stock blades 
to my 17" Volks, even though they're only supposed to weigh 14.75 lbs (listed on wheelweights site)

99-00 Si's...94-95 gsrs..96-97 gsrs...98 and up gsrs all weigh...15" ls mesh style rim..all weigh 16.5 lbs...pretty odd
The ls mesh rims are not 15's they are 14's
I would like to know where you got these weights if they listed the ls mesh (aka snowflake rims as 15's)

the weight of the turbo doesnt hinder the car's performance less than it can provide, thus improving performance overall.
bigger wheels = higher max speed, but shittier acceleration and deceleration
everythings has its trade-off when u mod a car

Re: whats the weight on the gsr blade rims?? (tekstyle)
I like the stock GS-R wheels. 98-01. If you get them really clean they have a nice bling factor that looks original and clean. AND if you let them get reallllly dirty...
THEY LOOK GUNMETAL!!!!
