I'm not 100% sure on this model, but I think they are kind of heavy. Volk have several similar styles and is going to be lighter by several pounds.

If your not sure you shouldn't talk.

a) volk doesn't have a similar style
b) work rsz-r is a 10 lb wheel in 15"

I think they've only discontinued the 15" model (maybe the 16" too) but they're still making 17". I'm not usually a big fan of 17" wheels on Hondas but these look darn good on our cars in 17".

R&D had a discontinued special on the 15", think like $14xx a set, check they're site see if they have any left.

All Gone.

Story goes as follows:

The RSZ-R was introduced by Work in the Early-Mid 90's, I know they had 15,16 & 17" but I believe there was also 18". Colors were All White, GM with Polished Lip, I believe bronze was a factory color as well, plus you could special order any color you like. Mid-Late 90's the wheel was discontinued, I forget the exact # of years but it was something like 4-6 that it was out. Wheel was pretty popular in Japan but you didn't see it much over here.

2 or 3 Years ago AKH (Toda USA) setup Work Wheels USA, their flagship wheel was the RSZ-R. They had this wheel brought back to life only for themselves and only in 15 or 16", 4x100 or 5x114, and GM with Polished Lip. No other variances or Special Sizes or Colors as since this was a discontinued wheel Work Japan would only make each size and color if X amount of piece were ordered, X being somewhere in the few hundred area. Work USA had too many wheels left in stock and it was talking too long to sell them so they put them on Clearance about 6 or 7 months ago.

So in essence the Wheels weren't really discontinued a second time, they just sold out of them and have no plans of ordering a thousand or so RSZ-R's
