I was wondering how much the stock wheels weigh so i can find a lighter weight rim to lower unsprung weight.

The OEM wheels by themselves are about 24 lbs each.

Did you leave out a decimal?

Boy I hope the decimal is missing or I won't be doing any wheel changes at home! ;) :D

Oops! 24 lbs! I edited the post.

Not too bad for 19". TireRack has some cheaper wheel options around 21lbs...looks more sport compact than luxury.

The rears weigh 28 pounds.

See our ladies are fat. lowering the weight of the tires could give us just the advantage to beat an M3 handling wise. Plus 275's in the back

Just put in WEDS SA 67s on mine, 8x19 with 45 offset up front, and 9x19 with 35 offset at the rear. Pictures will be uploaded shortly. Each wheel weighs 8kg only.Color is gun metal with a blue band which goes well with my blue baby. Used my stock Michelins for now since I have difficulties sourcing sizes over here. Very happy with them so far though I have not yet driven long distance with them.

8 kg translates to 17.64 lbs. Wow, that's light! Can't wait for you to post the pics..

I checked out the WEDS SA 67R, and it looks awesome to me, especially the blue light chrome one. I'll bet it'll look good with obsidian...

Here it is, my F with e WEDS Sa 67R. Hope it works!

Wow, those look awesome!! Great choice in wheels! :cool:

Thanks! Yeah, very happy so far. I still need to put larger rubbers, maybe 235/245s up front and 265/275 at the rear. I'm amazed how light they are compared to the OEMs.

An is-f in makati? whoa, biiiig ballin!

Wow, those wheels really complement the car! Are the offsets the same as stock?

looks hawt pare!!

hey do you feel any difference either performance or handling with those 8kg wheels?

There are oly three Fs in manila running around and this is the only blue one. Offset up front is 45 and 35 at the rear. I'm very happy with them, noticeable diff in handling and acceleration.

The wheels look great. Keeps the IS F theme alive. How about more pics of your car in the countryside or even in Metro Manila. It's weird to see a US Spec IS F in another country especially in PI.

Yes, I'll give you more pictures in the country as soon as I have some. Should bring you memories of mama land. My next project is to take a shot at the speedo at 270kph, he he he. Not easy though.

Did you guys notice the Evo5 on the lift in one of the pictures I posted?

Would wider tires in the rear give that much more grip? Or would the wider tires be heavier and therefore despite maybe giving more grip, add more weight and slow the car down overall?

Hey co-flips, take a look at my pic in Photo Gallery with my F having a german for lunch at the Batangas Racing Circuit during our recent track day. It was good gong at each other, lots of fun. C63 owner is a good friend.
