07 wheels
Hi everyone
what is honda thinking with the wheels for the new type S! It seriously distracts from the good look of the car. My guess is in a year or so they will offer a much better looking wheel.
Anyway, what's up with ronjon wheels. They do not list the weight of the wheels! I think this is very important, if you want to upgrade!
What's up ronjon?

When I was shopping for new rims about a month and half ago, I checked out RonJon's collection in person at his warehouse. I was very impressed with his quality and design. Ron showed me everything himself, explained everything and told me then that all his rims constantly improved over the years in strength and design due to cutomer feedback, his research, etc. All I can say is that his today's line of wheels is strong and beautiful!
As far as the weight, I was concerned about that too at the time, 18" Sevo and Ispyre cast rims weigh about the same as our stock 17" Acura rims or about 25lb each. 19s" weigh about 2lb more than that or about 27lb. Overall pretty light and strong and comparable to if not lighter than A-spec 18" rims which I believe are about 27lb.
Now his Devotion line is another matter, those are ultra light forged rims, that rim weighs one pound per inch, or about 18lb for 18" rim. I believe those rims are a special order.
These are weight approximations according to what I recall he told me when I asked about approx weight, I wouldn't be surprised if the exact specs reveal that the rims are actually lighter than that, so contact him directly. Ron's got a great product and he is a nice guy, too.
