Weight of stock 16" rims for lude? - Honda Prelude Forum

Anyone off hand know the weight of the stock 16" rims for a prelude?? I got Rota subzero 17" rims that weigh 16.5 pounds to fit a rotor kit. So I am wondering if the 17's I bought will reduce overall sprug weight or not over the stock setup?? I did a search and didnt get any info on this.

stock 16's are 19lbs and the SH rims are 19.6 lbs

OK cool so I am saving a little bit of weight then, cant hurt I take it, although I dont know how much weight the AEM O.E. big brake rotor kit will add back on over the stock rotors as they are bigger.

the wheels are bigger though... so the outside of the rim is further from the center, making it harder to rotate the wheel..

All in all I should at least be equal then maybe?? I just dont really want to add any rotational mass. If I could have done 16"s I would have, but the larger rotors wont allow for it.
