very nice..
The stock wheels weigh approximately 20lbs. If you add the stock Michelin tire combo it weighs 41 (approximate). The kosei 17x7 weighs 14 lbs. So yeah, we can save that much from rims if we don't go to a bigger diameter and width. Though I might not receive as much traction in a autocross or road course if I go 18-8 or whatever. I can make up in acceleration. I have to be careful what tire I choose also, as there are many heavy tires also.
