That the MR 8 -9 BBS wheels weigh a staggering 17lbs!
Evo 7 is about 22lbs while the Evo 8 - 9 stock enkeis come in at 20 lbs...

Ok so are we going for a group buy? I'm in.....

Not the best looking though...but then the stock 8 enkeis not all that either.

One question though, are the volk wheels or the other popular aftermarket choices lighter than the stock wheels (mr or gsr)?

i love the 8mr wheels and have been trying to get ah set for my car for the longest while!!! mine came with stock evo 8 wheels..
i believe i have seen volks etc around 16lbs but around 17-19lbs is the normal weight of these forged wheels....

Well I actually been checking out tirerack.com's wheel select for the evos and some of those wheels are not too bad...

The volks are about 17-18.5 lbs... but I see an enkei RPF1 that is 15 lbs...

It's making me consider to find a dealer here in trini and buy a set...
