Sup guys i think im hookin up with a set of konig rims. They weigh about 17 lbs. I was wondering if anyone knew off of the top of their head what the weight of a stock honda wheel weighed. I want to get a rim that is the same weight or lighter.

Oh those Konigs in your sig pic that look like hubcaps? Those are pretty cool, I've never seen them before. So, really, what Konigs do you have that weigh 11 lbs. Are they the TE-37 knockoffs? I think they are called Rated-R's. Are those the ones you have? The 15 in Traffiks are 12.49 lbs and they happen to be the lightest wheel made by Konig. Somebody lied to you or you are just trying to pass some bullshit.

Honestly I dont even remember what they weighed, I weighed mine I just dont remember. The problem is 99% if manufacturers arent 100% right on the weights... unless you are talking something like SPOON or like really expensive rims for racing and crap like that -- "consumer" minded rims all have a margin of error. Dont believe me? Ask Rick to pull off one of his Spoon knock offs that are SUPPOSED to weigh a certain amount -- and see what it actually weighs, then find another wheel and do the same... like I said, theres a "margin for error" on anything with weight.
