I am looking at getting some 17's. Too many potholes to go with 18's. I found some taht are 23 pounds a piece that i like. all the ones that i have found under 20# are ugly. or is 23 still pretty light weight?

 

its only a 12 pound difference for the set... thats not gonna make a difference i dont think. Why get wheels you dont like??

 

A rule of thumb is to multiply each additional lb you save or gain per wheel by 40. The weight is unsprung and it's rotational, so it affects your acceleration, braking, cornering ability, and ride.

 

forget 17's or 18's.. get 15 or 16' spoons

 

where can i get those, i will most likely be doing some track racing this summer. i know smaller is faster, but can i corner as well?

 

you dont get as much top speed but they have a whole bunch less rolling mass than regualr rims.

theyre like 15 or less. correct me if im wrong.

 

im 90% positive u cant get a 15" to fit over the brakes and shit. anyways get 17's. 16's is too small for our car. and the lighter the better. ssr integrals 16.5lbs each
and oz superleggeras 15lbs each
ill be gettin some oz's come spring. considering the stocks weight about 20-22lbs thats a huge DIFF. great for acceleration. u can see them at tirerack.com if u want pics heres some cheap pics but they dotn really show th erims good.

 

Im not seeing what the multiplication by 40 acomplishes.

Do those OZ rims come in a silver finish? or just the black?

 

i got some 17's that weigh like 17 lbs....i think they're tight....i'm gonna try to post a pic of them....

 

15's, fit I have a set for my CL for snow usage.

Sumkid, the 10 pound per 1 pound of wheel weight is a rule of thumb based on observations in performance degradation caused by putting on heavier wheels. It's not something I made up.

 

Oh I understand its not something you made up, I was just curious what it was for.
