Im looking to get some new rims and tires in about a month or so. Ive got my eyes on some Enkei rims (link: http://www.discounttiredirect....06776), but I have a question about the weight of the rim. Are Enkei rims pretty light? I havent heard much about their weight...Any help would be appreciated. (As always, opinions on the rims are welcome, too...look good? bad? alright?) Thanks.

 

They weigh in around 16 lbs.

That wheel looks much better in person than it looks in the picture.

 

Is 16 lbs considered light? Right now, Ive got stock GSR blades...how heavy are those in comparison?

 

The JDM Enkei lineup has really nice rims that we never see here and they are really nice. If you want a nice super light rim Enkei rims. Check out the RP-F1's. I think the majority of US enkei rims are all cast aluminium. Just get something you like and what your wallet can handle is my rule.

 

stock cast aluminum rims are around 15 lbs or so

enkei lists weights of alot of there rims on there web site btw.

i personally have konig heliums in 15" and they weigh in at 11lbs each, i would consider that to be a light rim (for cast, big money forged rims can be lighter, as low as 9 lbs). if you want 16's then those enkies arent heavy at all but they arent the lightest either
