Rim Weight?

[IcebergMan]

Hi,

As some of you may of read, I'm going to be purchasing a Protege 5 soon and have a really quick question. I eventually want to put new rims on the P5 and my 2 favorite combinations are a white car with white rims and a black car with black rims with silver trim. Which do you think will weigh less, white rims or black rims with silver trim? It probably is dependent on what type of metal the rims are made out of but just was curious. I'm thinking that the white rims might be lighter because there will be less spokes...

Thanks.

the black rims will be heavier because black is heavy with sin. also the pigment to make the black color is heavier per ounce than white.

no, it's true. fo' real.





seriously...what? why would color make a difference? if you point out particular sets/sizes, people could offer you actual advice. otherwise, um...

seriously, weight has nothing to do w/ color, at least, not significantly...

white wins.

Yeah, I figured I'd get a reply like that. Anyways, I don't really know any good rims that fit my requirements, anyone know?

Thanks.

what exactly are your requirements (besides color)?

 

[IcebergMan]

Um...don't know much about rims. The only thing that I could think of is price, any price thats fairly affordable, problem is I don't know whats a good price for rims.

I really like all of these. So, which do you think of these tires would be the lightest? I know that their are other rims that I missed so if their are, that are around the same price (Wow! It seems like I'm not going to be spending nearly as much as I thought!) and are lighter please say so. So, out of these which would be the lightest? Also, what's the stock size rims on the P5? Thanks!

16x6 is the stock size
