By itself - around 22 lbs, maybe 23. With the tire, comes to about 45 lb. Too heavy!

V300,

Do the Enkei RPF1s come in 18"? And would you happen to know how much they weigh?

Thanks

I'll chime in with SSR Competition Pro's (15 pounds or so in 18")

It should be around 16lb for a 18X8. You might have to call Enkei to find out.

I found this page sometime ago when shopping for wheels for my MX-5.

Does anyone have a better, current site?

V300,

Just called Enkei. 18lbs. for size 18x8 35mm offset.

Looks like a more economical choice for me over the SSRs.

Hottrodder,

I've seen that list for a couple of years now. Don't think it get updated.

I have a novel idea which might help save a few pennys. Lose 10 pounds in body weight.

I did say novel, right.

Great info.

Too bad body weight doesn't translate to unsprung weight.

Confirmed: CE28N volks in 18X8. 8.99kg Therefore, a kilo lighter than stock!!!

There's also wheelspecs.com - not very updated either.

And usually you can call tirerack/wheelmax/tires.com to ask about weights and other specs for the wheels they sell. Otherwise - the manufacturers' websites are usually a good place to try as well. If all else fails, google it, or search on discussion fora of other cars/brands - someone's bound to have upgraded and used a wheel you're interested in, and weighed it first

Wow - I thought the RX-8's 18s were lighter than 22!

I just picked up my blue rx8 gt, with the first set of titanium rims. They only way 5 pounds each! dealer only had their first set. They are the stock rims, just in titanium, straight from mazda.

Ahh, come again? 5lbs? Brand, size, cost pls. I think you may mean 15lbs??

Yanje

oh pls..... i'll betcha my entire bank account it isn't 5pounds...... i think 5 pounds less than stock would be reasonable..... but 5 pounds? made out of titanium? havent seen a rim made out of titanium yet..... prob named titanium due to its colour and shade
