Tirerack Speedline 2116 Wheels

A couple of questions for the Tirerack guys about these wheels and how they fit on a WRX:

1. What is the weight of these wheels in 17 X 7?

2. Will these wheels clear "typical" big brake kit upgrades?

3. I know that your fitment guide recommends 225/45/17s(which I prefer), but will that size be a tight fit making it more likely to damage the wheels when replacing the tires?

I'm looking to get a complete wheel and tire set (most likely RE750s), I just want a little more info on these wheels.

Thanks!

Dtech,

The 2116 weighs 22.5 lbs and won't clear the Brembo GT 328mm 4 pot brake kit. Even though it's 7", I'd still recommend the 225 width tires. I like the look of them better than the 215s and there aren't fitment problems with the sedan or wagon.

Damn!...those wheels are heavier than I thought! Even the optional Subaru pressure cast 17" X 7" wheels are 19 lbs. (and are suppose to clear the 4 pot brakes). What a shame, I was just about sold on those Speedlines too.
