VX rims Got em and weighed em
 

Well as you can see my VX rims came. They came mounted with 185's and weighed 20 pounds each. The steelies that I took off had 175's and wieghed 26 pounds each.

So I cut 24 pounds out of my wheels and now all of my wheels match and look 1000% better. If I ever get near it with the camera I will update pics.

I wonder how much heavier the new tires are though, hmm, I should weigh my rim/tires.

I have no idea. I wanted to know but there was no way I was bustin a tire off the rim just to weigh it and put it back on in that heat!

The crazy part is if I was to pick each one up I would have guessed the difference to be much more. Funny how your brain plays those tricks on you.

Nice!

I looked around for those wheels for a while before picking up my miata rims. I couldn't find any VX or HX wheels for under $300 with tires. There must be some sort of crazy market for them around here.

Have you noticed a difference in the way they drive?

Post up some pics when you get them!

Havent noticed a difference yet. I just got them up to the "right" air pressure today. So that is to be seen.

I will post up some pic when I get off my *** and take em.

I know of some VX rims with new tires for sale for 300 shipped, you could prolly talk the guy down if you're interested.

Just had the tires removed from my VX rims and weighed them (the rims). I put all 4 on my digital scal and get 37.6 lbs, or 9.4 lbs each.

intersting thread about the rims i have a 92 vx whats the lightest rim i can get for it, thanks guys

Re: VX rims Got em and weighed em
 

VX are the lightest, regarding the rims, I would put the Sumitomo tires on them, this is the best tire for that rim.
