I was looking at some gramlites T57's
What is considered a lightweight wheel, 20lbs?
How much does a tire weight?
What are some good lightweight wheels?
The stock SI wheels are 44lbs with tires.

Thanks

 

considering a wheel to be light weight depends on the size of the wheel

for example

a 15lb 15" rim is heavy, where as a 17" 15lb rim is light

so it depends on what size rim your looking into

 

I have 18's now and would like to stay that size.
an 18" wheel that weighs 22-25lbs is pretty light right?

Not really.

Go to tirerack.com and look up the civic, and see what you can get. I've seen some 18's that weigh under 20. It all depends on the construction (cast vs forged) and the materials/design. That's why Volks are so damned expensive...

 

i've got a set of 17" enkei Rp02 that are about 15lbs. i bought them for 98bux apiece

 

try going over to http://www.tirerack.com they have some nice lightweight wheel like gramlights, SSR, Motegi TrakLites and Wedsports

didn't see his post

 

you can find 17" for around 14~17 lbs each..........

 

Are all those gram lights wheels light? i mean 20.4 lbs for 17x7.8 is kinda heavy. Also for 17x.7.5 17.6 lbs is still kinda on the chunky side. Which is heavier forged or cast?

 

i got a set of 15' motegi track lites. they kick *** an i sware my cripple grandma could pick them up with no problem with a tire on the rim. so dam light its ridiculous

 

Yea they must be light in a 15 inch, ive got 17 inch tracklites and they weigth 14.4lbs a piece!

 

thats still hella light for a 17' traklite is the way to roll

 

Yea I was convinced when i saw em' then even more so on the specs, anything less than a pount an inch is pretty good let alone 14 lbs on 17 inch

 

which rims do you have?

 

17 inch motegi tracklites

 

I have 17" TE37s. They are about 15 pounds a piece, but they ARE expensive unless you know somebody who knows somebody who robbed somebody , I did NOT steal them....I hate thieves.
