How about 14" or bigger only? Although the vx wheels look pretty nice...

Some useful info there, but not what I need. Thanks for your replies. I'm guessing the steelies are ~18 lbs, so once these tires wear out I think I'll be getting some HX rims with acura center caps.

Would shaving ~7 lbs of wheel weight off produce a noticable difference in fuel economy, acceleration, or suspension responsiveness (unsprung weight)?

actually you would be saving 28lbs on all four coners, and yes it would be better for fuel and acceleration but that also depends if your always driving at high rpm's keep it below 3k.

as far a suspension i wouldnt really be sure about that, look in to some new tires, rims, coil over setups and all that go to the suspension forum for that

2 more questions. Where do you guys usually get used HX rims, I'm having some trouble finding used ones. The second question is will acura 2.75" center caps fit?
