Does anybody know the wieght of the JDM 16" wheels (champ white). I like the bigger look rather than the 15" so I was just a little curious. I am sure it can't happer performance to much, can it?

Stock is 15.6 lbs. I forgot the exact numbers for the JDM 16 but they are heavier than stock but not by much. I remember in the 16.X lbs range. The acceleration is definately noticable and even more noticable with heavy tires such as Azenis. But then again the 16 may offer more grip.

They weighed just under 17lbs on our digital mail scale, which I think may be off by a couple ounces, but not by much. The rims are a tad bit heavier, and though you may notice a difference, it's not that bad.

Later,
Aj

Rotas in 16x7 are rather light and have a ok offset, why don't ya save a ton of money and try them out?
