Hey,Any chance either of you would know the true weight of the leggy wheels I have? I know my GC wheels are 16lbs each, I can't imagine the leggy wheels even coming close.. thanks

I never weighed hers when she had them but they seemed lighter then ASA rims which are about 22lbs. I never compared them to the BBS rims which are around 18lbs I want to say? Its been a while since I weighed them lolSorry not much help. The guy we sold them too... I can ask him to weigh them.

I'll see what I can find out

stock LGT 17" rim 18lbs 5 ounces. This is for the 5 spoke 05-06 rim. Its all we had but it gets you an idea at least.still waiting on my friend to see if he has the ones we sold him mounted and can weigh one of them.

Thank you Sir, So the Enkei RPF1 i'm looking at will still get me lighter than stock 17" good... As long as I come in lighter than stock, i'm happy... The 17" RPF1 coms in at 15.9lbs so it's right there with my stock GC 5 spokes... Lighter IS bettAr...

yeah I doubt your stock 17" 6 spoke rim is lighter then 18 pounds.

Thanks man, it was my dream car and the guy selling it, just wispered a mention of selling it and I jumped on him like a lion on a gazell, untill we came to an accord... It wasn't/isn't the best time for me to have a car payment (i'm a contractor for a large chemical/R&D company) but, like kids, they don't always come at the "ideal" moment.... I doubt you'll ever see me trying to sell it..... My beater RS, IS for sale though and rather cheap, mind you... but it's nothing in compairison (except for very nice low end torque, which this one don't have below 2-3k rpm...) and my ability for it to go ANYWHERE and I mean anywhere.... lol

the rim is 45 pounds with a 225/45R17 tire mounted and balanced on it.

you trying to find some lightweight racing rims? if so, LGT rims aren't gonna cut it. that's why I picked up my BBS rims.

Not racing rims per say, but if i[m going to buy, i'm going to buy lighter than stock... Had my old RS since new and couldn't bring myself to buy new rims cause I was going to pay and arm and a leg for something lighter than 16lbs per rim... now that i'm on 17'z I still want to go lighter than the weight of the 17, that's why i'm looking at the RPF1 as they are decent;y cheap, strong and ~16lbs each in the 17"Like I said above, if I could flip for some TE-37'z, i'd do it in a heartbeat, but 3k for wheels and tires it WAYYYY out of my reach right now...

what kind of brakes do you have? You run into the same issues with BBK clearance?? There was a guy with a set of white 17" wedsports, like 14 lbs each for sale for the longest time on legacygt.com. can't remember who though... they wouldn't clear my brembo's otherwise I may have picked them up. no matter now... selling my car this summer so it won't make much of a difference.

Could you link me to them wedsports possibly?? I don't spend ANY time on LGT.com...
