24 lbs!!!
I can get a deal on a set of 16x7 wheels with a postive 37mm offset to put on my ride, but they weigh close to 24lbs without tires! Is that too much? They are OZs and brand new so I know they are quality but that seems a little heavy to me. Am I wrong? Also if I drop my car 1.5-1.75inches will the offset be cool?

just to let you know....
factory offset is 45+ on the 99 civic.... and most people lowered rub a little with a 40+ offset... IMO 16" wheels shouldn't wiegh more than 20 pounds....

rim weights
The lightest weight 16" I've found in the shops near me is 15 lbs. (cost $250 each). Is there anything lighter than that? If so, I want one!!!

Hmmm...
Volk Racing TE37
About 11 lbs. for the 16" Get them here: http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/te37.htm What is most impressive is that they're forged aircraft aluminum! But $465.00 is pricey. My stock DMC rims are 22lbs rear and 20 lbs front. Buying the TE37's calculates to a 49 pound weight reduction for $1860 + shipping. I think I'll find a less costly area of the car to reducew weight in...

Well...I dunno if this is accurate data but I ordered my wheels from out of state. So I have them delivered by fedex. When I tracked it, it shows on fedex computer that total weight is 52 lbs. And I ordered 18x7.5 wheels plus the tires 215/35/18 already mounted plus the lugs plus the boxes.
But I never check with the manufacturer though....they're really not good at customer service hehehe...

well, I'd appreciated if anyone can check the weigh on my wheels for real. I tried sending Email to momousa and they're a b**ch in replying Emails But the wheels are pretty light for sure compared to my 14" stock... (I tried lifting both but with tires already mounted though....and you know how thick stock tires are => 60 !!!)
