Not to argue with you guys but I had this before RDX 19 weighed them three times and they are 31lbs each. I know thatAcura parts will tell you that they are 25lbs but believe it its 30-32lbs a wheel.

oh darn, instead of doing a 25 second 1/4 mile I will only do a 26 now. I am so dissappointed.

why does everyone care about what they weigh? On a car like this it doesn't matter, it is really just a cruiser that may handle a little better than the average grocery getter, not like its a Porsche or Lambo. Who are you kidding?

I would def argue that this is exactly the type of car where it matters, but whatever, difference of opinions...

...for a car that's already not very fast to begin with...the idea of making it slower is not terribly appealing. all i originally wanted to know was if you could tell a difference, and from what people have said, it's not real noticeable. Which I would expect considering I don't notice a difference when i drive by myself vs. when I have a passenger (unless it's my fat ass brother).

I think the whole discussion on weight came based on his reduced gas mileage he was experiencing, which I said was probably tire related, not the difference in the overall wheel weight. I think the only thing someone would notice with the increase in weight would be slower acceleration times from a dead stop. An increase in 24-28 LB of unsprung weight is significant in my opinion.
