Hey luke, would it be asking too much if you could weigh all the rims you have in stock, and then create a database and sticky it to this forum? And then maybe tires too? I think that database would benefit a lot of whom are searching for new wheels.

OMG that is so light for a 18 x 8.5 wheel! The STi BBS weigh 17lbs and they are only 17 x 7.

and while I'm at it I will also find conclusive proof of the theory of relativity, the exsistence of Aliens, Bigfoot & God, all while doing some Quantum Physics ..... :banana:

but, many of the wheel weights are already listed on our website under the specification screen and is constantly being updated (we have people for that purpose)

and you can also find alot of info on www.wheelspecs.com

almost any wheel info can already be found if your use the search function or a search engine like google

I hate cleaning them, its because there is so much surface area on them. There are too many spokes! I want some 5 or 7 spoke wheels.

18" SSR's? sounds like a nightmare to run 18's over rough roads. they are definitely light though!
