87 Si wheels look like ***. 1991 Si rims painted satin black, civic HX rims, and miata rims are the shizz.

I don't know the exact weight, but when I picked one up with a tire, it felt almost like a basketball. Like you just wanted to toss it around in a game.

P.S. Get the caps to cover the lug nuts if you insist on 91 CRX wheels.

96-00 Civic HX wheels are the gayest thing you can buy!!!! If you own a set, take one off of your car and see how much it weighs. The rim alone weighs a whopping 37.5lbs. Thats ludicris for a 14", the solution sell them to me for practically nothing!!!!

if you pick up a 37lb HX wheel you must be picking up all four at the same time. i weighed mine with a tire and it came up as 17.3lbs. youre an idiot. to you
