I read somewhere that the Kyowa KR 228s I had were only 18lbs for 18"... I just ordered the Kobe Race 10's in 18's; they look alot like the rims on your RSX...

I tried to get rays to do a custom run with enuff interest and also tried to push Enkei in doing the RPF1 for us . Rays just flat out had 0 interest in the 5-110 offset and Enkei rejected making the RPF1 for us . The Rota Subzeros I had were nice and at 17 lbs a rim it was quite noticable . The still dont offer the 5-110 in a regular size , still has to be a GP . The lightest offshelf wheels I know off that dont need to be custom made , are the Sektors or OZ Ultraleggersa's(sex) , both at 18.5 lbs for a 18x8 .

Hahah , I just tried to get a GP going on a 18x8 rota SVN . Couldnt get 5 commited .

DC52NV- Maaan , I got caught in a snow storm . I didnt have my snows on yet . I was going 10 mph around a turn an slid hard into high curb and bent both passenger side wheels at the center barrel portion . Rota wouldnt make me 2 more without a GP and the interest just wasnt there ...the downside to a custom made rim . Wreck one=buy 4

I don't like the flat black look. It looks spray painted.
