Didn't someone here posted that the A-spec wheels are heavy rims??? I forget what the #'s were. Maybe someone here can chime in.

I think the Axis wheels weigh in around 23-25lbs for 19's which is pretty decent for that size.

I can't decide whether or not I want the A-specs or Hiro's either...

A-specs are more common and are heavier, but more available and cheaper...

Hiro's look sweet but are more expensive...

Dunno what to do.

I can't imagine the Acura A-Spec wheels being heavy? Not saying anybody is wrong, but if Enkei
makes them they shouldn't be heavy. I weighed my stock 07 TL-S wheel/tire and it was only 45-46#. That would make the stock 17" wheel about 21-22#.

As for the Axis Hero (which looks very nice) I called a few places and was told it was heavy.

As for looks, the A-Spec looks very nice, but has no lip, I see them around, but never have seen any Axis wheels. The Axis Hero looks very nice, but for quality you can't compare them to the A-Spec wheels.

Get the Axis Hero's, try both, and then sell the set you don't want

I'll buy the Hiro's and we can switch after a while once we get sick of looking at the same wheels...lol

Does anyone know what the weight of the axis' are? I know the Enkei A-specs are 26lbs a wheel.

I say go for the Hiros. And if you like it staggered, go for the 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 back. I think that's gonna be sweet on your WDP TL. I'm actually thinking about getting it because how nice it looks.
