Looks really good! How much weight savings are these over OEM wheels?

OEM fronts are about 23 lbs. These are 19 lbs. Rear OEM are about 27 lbs. These are 19.5 lbs.

To put it in prospective, I weighed my OEM wheels with stock tires and they came out to about 54 lbs front and 50lbs back.

The rays, even with up sized 275/245 tires, weighted about 46lbs front and 43 rear. The rays allowed me to get larger tires and still save roughly 7lbs per corner.

wow your car looks great with all the carbon fiber, i bought them because they look nice and easy to clean as i daily drive mine. the weight was just a plus

it is a big difference between stock ones for sure

Congratulations. Great choice of forged JDM wonderfulness.

Lighter wheels = moar power (always a good thing). Not to mention how freakin' amazing they look.
