What do you think of these rims?

[33OH]

My 15" Momo's weigh alot too (I believe over 20 lbs. each if I remember correctly). I've had about 6 different sets of wheels on my Yaris, including a few lightweights, and I honestly can't tell the difference. Still get good gas mileage (over 40 on the highway) and still the same acceleration butt-dyno wise.


I'd say go for it.

I think they are like 400ish dollars for the set. like i said I don't want anything over the top pretty much anything is an improvement over the steelies.. being that the roads are terrible in Western PA I don't want a set of wheels made of paper mache.. These are low pressure cast and the weight gives me the impression they will hold up well over bumps pot holes ETC

true. Well dont let anyone tell you what to get. You're the one who has to live with them. If you like them, get them.

those are nice! i was looking at that style until i found these on discounttiredirect.com:

just came today! enkei fd-05 15x7 +38. not the lightest wheel(can't find weight for that size on web anywhere - approx. 17-20lbs), but as you said before i needed something STRONG(i've bent two steel wheels on potholes this winter alone) and relatively inexpensive($100 off all instock enkei wheels sets until 2/28) so lightweight is what i sacrificed. you should check them out!

When you have more HP to work with, it's easy to tell the difference between heavy and light weight wheels.

When I had my seats and added my subs in the car, the car got a little slower. Then I threw in huge heavy wheels and didn't notice it get any slower.

When I took out the seats + subs I felt it get significantly faster.

When I swapped out the heavy wheels with the seats + subs still out for light weight wheels I felt it get even faster.

Think of it in terms of a person's weight:
It's hard to tell if someone's 300 or 400 pounds. Once you're past a certain point it's all just weight...
However It's easy to tell if someone's 100 or 150 pounds.

I think my difference is the tires. Everyone is always concerned about wheel weight but never about tire weight. The tires with my Momo's (...forget what they are, in storage atm) are very lightweight. But the tires I ran with my lightweight Buddy Clubs were relatively heavy.

Didn't think of it until after I posted my first statement.

Not my cup of tea.
