how heavy per rim and how much did they cost you?

RE: new rims and tires on my whip
 

the guy weighted one and said it was 15 and a half. each rim was $99.95

Looks good man, I like them .

So lets say you get a wheel that weighs 14lbs, instead of the standard wich is I don't know....What does the REALLY do for a guy? Does he get .004 of a second faster 1/4 mile? Jeez

You should get them powder coated gun metal with the polished lip, that's look sick imo. I like the 15's though, both sets look nice

i was gonna get them in gun metal but they only had em in 18s ....i was like no way im getting 18s lol i liked my old rims but the back spacing in them made them stick out so i was like time for a change! lol

Actually, some 17-inch wheels weigh more than 20 lbs - that can be more than 5 lbs over stock and yes, ride and stopping power will suffer to some extent.

15-lbs is highly unlikely for a $100 17-inch wheel. I'd guess that they are more like 18 lbs each.
