Default anyone know how much stock vx wheels weigh?

the civic vx ones i tihnk theyre 8 or 10 spoke?

my aunt has a vx and she left her car at my house for a week and i was thinking of switching hers and mine (cx) cuz hers look better. but then i felt bad, so i asked her when she got back and she said maybe.

but seriously she would have no clue i switched them.

i also wanted to take her armrest, drink holder (cuz mines loose), and clock. hhaha she has all this nice gadgets in her vx and its lighter than my cx!!!!!

Just remember the widest tire you can squeeze on there (safely) is a 185. that is the only downside. But boy do they rev up fast!!!

Remember, these are 13" wheels, and unless you have the smaller brakes, they don't fit real well over them.

Who cares how light the wheels are, the tires are what make up most of the weight anyways, and a 13" just doesn't have the handling characteristics as say a 15" would.

If you going to toss some slicks on them and call it a day, then these are the rims for you.

VX fit over any of the 9.5" factory disks,
integras, EX sedans, and the new si have 10.3" brakes its no go....

fits over the rear discs without any problems...

also vx rims are made by Enkei, which are exact wheels that JDM 96-7 specs R ITR uses but in 15"

if you want slightly better but lightweight go with some HX wheels, which come in 14", look very similiar, (they are 11.5lbs)..they don't fit over 10.#" brakes but with some spacers they do...
