How much do HX wheels weigh? Thinking about getting some...
I never really though about how much LS mesh wheels weigh until last night when I put mine back on my car.
Last night I took my winter steelies off and put my meshies back on my car. I noticed a few things right away that I hadn't noticed before.
First, they weigh a TON. I mean, a lot more than my steelies did. Also, they sit the car taller because of the 195/55/15 tires on them.
It was probably a combination of the larger tire and heavier rim but I really noticed a difference in acceleration. The car seems sluggish.
Anyways, so I'm thinking of ditching the meshies and picking up some smaller, more lightweight wheels. I have always like the HX style wheels and am confident that I can find someone to trade me the HX rims plus cash for my meshies (since they are mint).
I'm just wondering how much the HX rims actually weigh. I know they are supposedly really light weight and made by Enkei.
Anyone know how much they weigh? And am I crazy to want to trade my meshies for some?

in there it says, "Honda Civic, HX, 96-97, Cast, 14x5.5, 11.75lbs", I hope these are the rims you are talking about.
searching also turned up this:

Please feel free to search, you are not the first person to ask this question.
Cheers.

It's all good. It's always nice to have confirming opinions or data.

Thanks for the info.
Yeah, I tried to search, but I searched for "HX wheels" etc. and we all know that the H-T search engine doesn't work well for short terms like that.
It just returned anything with "wheels" in it, which was a lot, so I gave up after reading through 6 or 7 pages.
I think I am going to start looking for someone that wants to trade my meshies for HX wheels. I'd rather have the lightest wheels possible without spending too much.
Thanks again!
