Lighter Tires?

[Mrmonk7663]

I'm not sure who may or may not be intrested in this but if people are interested I will do a little project to contribute to the site since im a noob. I will try and find "lighter" rim choices for our VX's. Here is the first one...if wanted we can make a new thread for this specific purpose. This rim below is -14mm offset, 18x9.5" 6x5.5 and 30lbs...that is a weight savings of 4lbs from the stock 18x7 if I'm correct...so wider and lighter...it is available in black too!!! Let me know if there is interest in something like a wheel weight guide and i'll see what I can figure out.

Just picked up my Rota 18x8.5 rims for my STi yesterday.... supposed to weigh in at 19lbs a piece. Man.... beaitiful wheel and only if I could get the same w/finish for my VX.



I cant imagine what my current VX wheels (Enkei 18x8.5 et0) weigh in at, especially since they were 2 toned bronzed, which I am sure added a tad more weight.

My Nitto Terra Graps were (are) heavy as hell. 285/60-18. I remember lugging those to the shop when I had the Yokos swapped. Thought I felt steep pains in my left shoulder for a bit there. I am currently considering a smaller/lighter wheel-tire package on the VX. Still throwing that one around....

my falken STZ04 at a285/60/28 come in at 47lbs.. so no weight savings there either
