Well I went ahead and bought the rims. Found what I was looking for pretty cheap actually so I'm happy about it. Now just to find some tires... pics to follow tomorrow

I got a couple new things to post, I got my upper strut mounts for my DIY coil overs from Held Motorsports:
And finally, I got my new rims, 17 inch Enkei RPF1
They're black with a machined lip, but I plan on getting them painted with a red lip to match the photoshop I did up there ^^
Check it out!

Are Enkeis supposed to be lighter than other brands? They're about $450 each new at Wheelmax.

They;re supposed to be around 16 pounds per rim... I got mine used for a HELL of a deal..
I'm going to get the lip painted to look like this:

Not really sure, a long time ago I used to have the old "tech" rims but I have no idea how much even those weigh.

jgrotzin weighed some for me a while back.

Ok, I know I'm late to the party but I weighed the 88 "rear" lace rim which looks nearly identical to the 86-87 lace rims and it was about 17lbs even....
I did weigh an 87 lace rim with a "maypop" on it and it weighed in at 36lbs, so 19 for the tire. Sounds about right. Hopefully this helps.
I might be wrong about the 88 rear and 86-87 lace rims, but just trying to help... |

Thanks for the info, considering I moved up to a 17inch rim, I did pretty good for the weight.
