Bastage... hoarding all the good wheels for yourself.
That's a big weight diff.
A little weight reduction
My '90 is about to change shoes. Gone will be the combat boots (6ULs, bound for the '94) and on go the Vibram FiveFingers of the wheel/tire world.
15x8 6ULs, 36mm offset, with 225-45 RS2s, at right, weigh in at 32.8lbs per corner on the no-doubt perfectly accurate bathroom scale I picked up recently.
14x7 RPF1s, 19mm offset, with 195-55 T1Rs, left, come in at 24.6lbs per corner on said scale. The place that mounted 'em got 24.8lbs, so close enough.
Should be a nice change for daily duties.
Just thought I'd share that li'l tidbit.

I guess weight reduction is the in thing right now. All the cool kids are doing it.
Wow! Almost 33lbs for the 15x8's? My 17x8's with 215 rs2's are 35 or 36lbs. Now I can't remember. You will definitely notice the weight change. Very nice indeed.
The stock wheels on the Evo are 23#+. My 18x10.5 RPF1's are just barely under 20#. I'm slowing coming around to the ol' power adds speed in the straights, removing weight adds speed everywhere school of thought.Originally Posted by juxt3r
