Default 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.

I think the HX's weigh in at a little under 12lbs. But im not 100% sure.

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

Cheers.

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!
