I found these figures on the 00-03 weights. This does not include tires, but, not all tires weigh the same anyways. One thing had me confused though, according to this list I got these from, it says the "JDM" wheels are made by BBS. I thought that Enkei made all of Honda's factory wheels? And being that all the S2000's are made in Japan, I wouldn't think there'd be 2 different wheel manufacturers. Oh well...

yeah, i heard the jdm wheels were made by BBS from another person as well. I also heard they were significantly lighter than the usdm, but never got an exact figure...but heard they were also ugly. anyone got any pics of them?
but still my question stands, anyone have the weights of the 04 rims?

sorry can't help you on the '04 wheel weights. The JDM BBS wheels are made by BBS. They are lighter but I wouldn't say significantly. However, in racing venue's such as auto-x where rules are strict to OEM parts, they are an advantage to run in stock classes.

For reference although it doesn't answer your question, I weighed my stock rear wheel with a 275/45 16 Hoosier mounted and it came in at 39lbs. Hoosiers are pretty light tires compared to other DOT legal rubber. The weight of my rear LE28N (18x8.5) with 275/35 18 Toyo RA1's mounted came in at 40lbs. Not a scientific scale but close for comparison sake. Volk makes some pretty light wheels, a pound heavier in my wheel/tire combo considering the RA1 I'm running aren't light.
