i was considering getting some new rims but i want some that are lighter than the stock 14" Si rims. how much do the stock rims weigh?

 

ive heard 17lbs-ish.

 

That's the figure I usually hear when it comes up...

Don't worry - just about any of the usual 15" wheels will be lighter than the stock 14s. Well, as long as you don't go for triple-chromed spinnaz, that is!

i just bought some 13.5lb 15s and some 205/50s to go with it. i guess the heavier 205s will offset the weight savings huh

Yeah, listen to Mike:

 

In my defense, those MOMO 15s *did* come with the car. Six or seven of the damn things! And yes, they are definitely heavy. No matter - I'll either be selling them off (if I can find enough center caps to match up a complete set) or just putting them on the car for meets and such. There *IS* a certain Big-80s geekiness to them...

Then again, wheel weight on that car (bone-stock, all-original, near-mint 1990 Barbados Yellow CRX Si) is the absolute least of my worries. It's not going to be a modded/swapped car, it's not going to be racing or autocrossing... just cruising. But I did go ahead and set it up with a set of 15" Konig Villains shod with Dunlop SP9000s, and the stock 14" alloys are still there, with brand new Pirelli P4000s.

So many wheels, so little time!
