N00b question here as i have not had much to do with rims. I have bought a set of 03 STi Rims with new rubber on them so i can clear Brembo's.

Had them posted, and apparently they weighed in at 19.8KG's each with rubber on them at 38psi.

Is this considered lightwieght? Are the STi rims lighter than WRX ones?

sounds about right, tyres weigh roughly the same as rims

Rubber is heavy....

normally rim weight when quoted is just the rim itself. What size rubber etc do you have on it ?

Lightweight compared to chromies... Yes.

Lightweight compared to race rims... No.

Weight compared to WRX rim, probably very similar.

They are a stock rim, so are designed for more strength than lightweight.

Yeah white wheels, look fantastic... But god you hate the brake dust!

P.S. Surprised the Exley boys weren't in the background there, they must be hiding playing with their latest toy helicopter/plane/car/etc. Seems to be a new one everytime I go there!
