Default UKDM Wheel Weight

I did a search and I read somewhere that they are 13 lbs each. Compared to the stock 15.9 lbs of the USDM wheel. Can anyone confirm this?

If this is true, North America got really screwed when it came to the DC2R.

I was replying to the quote: "If this is true, North America got really screwed when it came to the DC2R. "

So, if JDM didn't get the lighter 15" wheels, then USDM models didn't get screwed as bad. (but, then again, JDM models got 16" for 98+ R's...)

This is strange: "Euro-spec wheels have been informally measured to be 12 lbs, whereas the USDM ITR rims have been measured on the same scale at 14 lbs. "
USDM are 15.6 lbs, right? So, there is something wrong with their scale...

If anyone wants a set of UKDM's, let me know. I think I may be ready to sell off my set.

They were brand new when I got them last year. They are about 99% perfect still. They are white and have 5k miles on the mounted Azenis tires.

Cheese~

I agree.. I have two sets of digital scales and they say 6kg and 6.1 kg for my ADM wheels (same as Euro-spec). That is 13.2 and 13.4 lbs.

I run the JDM 16" now so mine are sitting in my spare room crying out for some track rubber

actually, if i remember correctly, the us wheels were 13 1/2 pounds. i think they were the same as the kosei 15x7. i don't have any more wheels off rim, so i cannot weigh them anymore.
