If you're interested in wheel weights, you'll want to check out this wheel weight chart.

Skip the Senekas and go for the K-1's. They come in white, silver, and anthracite (someone keeps calling this color "titanium"-something, but TireRack lists this color as anthracite). The anthracite color has a green-ish tinge to it, which isn't flatteing on many cars, but it may look right on your green GSR. You can never go wrong with silver, either.

Good luck with the choice. The K-1's are one of my favorite wheels.

Seneka 16" = 19lbs

I would get K1s since they cost the same, but Senekas look pretty nice (I have them) especially on my green GSR.

Well I am one of those "someone" who prefers to call the color the name it was given by the manufacturer. Once again, the actual color is Titanium Silver. I think Team Loco has wheels in anthrashit color but kosei/buddy club does not

Thank you. Finally someone who knows what the real color of the K1 is called.

The 15" weighs 13.5 lbs.

I LOVE mine, I don't think I'll ever part with them.

Off topic a bit, any one got 3 of the TS in 15" +45 offset? I got 5 right now, I need 3 more.....

Oh yea, those rims are STRONG AS HELL, just as the pothole that lost!!!!

Well..... excuse the **** out of me. I guess someone should call up TireRack and correct them, too, then. They'd probably sell more of them using that name -- it sounds better. It's just too bad they don't look much like titanium, with that green-ish hue. If they looked a little less green and a little more dark gray / silver, I'd get that color for sure. A while back, someone posted some pics / links of some K-1's that were powdercoated "chrome smoke." They looked good. A little flashy, but not like rolling on chrome dubs.

You don't got to get pissy about it. Damm.

Think of it this way, say your car was Pheonix Yellow, and we all decided to call it Yellow school bus......

Would you like that? Probably not.

The wheels are called Titanium Silver (TS) not anthricite and they should be called by they're proper name.
