my 57pro's weigh about 18lbs for 17x7's, so the 57f's probably about 14-16.

if you want light wheels (and you if you like the design) the enkei RP-F1 17x7.5 +48 5x114.3 are 15 lbs each. and they are cheaper than the gram lights. autornd sells them.
14lbs a piece baby!http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123616322Dexter said:
Also www.wheelweights.net is a great place to find weights of various wheels.

the Enkei RP-F1s come in gold, silver and something called SBC (super brilliant coating) which is basically almost like chrome.
as for size, i guess it depends on what application and look you want. 16s would be even lighter, but you will have to run a higher profile tire, probably 50 to compensate. i think 17s and keeping the stock tire size 215/45/17 would work well.
i think the stock msp rims are like 21 to 22 lbs each? either way, you are saving at least 6 to 7 lbs static weight at each corner and a total weight from 24 - 28 lbs. the most important thing is that you are saving even more rotating weight. i'm sure it will do wonders for handling, braking and acceleration. i am planning on getting a set next spring.
