I asked this on one of the wheel threads but i don't think no one ever answered it?

The standard split 5 spoke rear weighs about 58 lbs with the PSS tire, as for the front I can't seem to remember, but might be around 54-55 lbs with the PSS tire.

Thanks Buddy

I'm sure there's a set of wheels out there you could probably save 40-50lbs. for a new set couldn't you?

Yep a set of Volks TE37 Ultra will save you around 30-40 lbs. Not a huge fan of the styling of it though, maybe if I get serious with tracking the car, I will probably get a set.

All 3 wheel options on the RC-F are forged aluminum, which is great. But all of them have too many spokes to be considered light-weight. All of them say 10 spoke, but are actually 20. On the other hand, it's a heavy car, so rather err on the side of caution with strength

. Not going to mess with mine (top choice), but they're a royal PITA to clean. And can't stick your hand thru the spokes to clean the inside (that sucks too). But other than that, the polished ones are beautiful.
