Hey I've got some apparently option NB wheels and wondering if they're overly heavy or not.
I'd just like to know what peoples 16" wheels weigh including tyres. Even if you have stock rims I'd like to know, its so I can decide if i should bother putting good rubber on them and using them daily.
Compared to my 14's they're a whopping 5 KG heavier per corner. They grip a lot better though so is it worth the added weight and is it excessively heavy compared to other 16's? THey certainly make the car look more like a car than a toy.
THanks
How heavy are your 16's?

ce28s in 16x7 are 5kgs without tyre, which is about the same as Na8 wheels.

Same, funnily though. Enkei 15's won't fit but te37 14's will...
I'm probably wrong, and it was an NB6C.
But I'm pretty sure it has SVT which i believe is only in the 1.8L. Unless Jap spec have smaller brakes?
Mind F.uck
