Does anyone know the actual weight of the stock 15x5.5 steel rim without the tire? not all steel wheels are the same, nor are tires: the one on the corolla, prius, mr2, and yaris all have relatively the same size but different weights on many online charts, some of these charts don't have the correct size so I begin to doubt the weight.
but knowing if the weight is 16lbs or 13lbs is a big deal to me, cause that'd rule out many options-- I am only interested in going lighter with a fair bit of width more... |

ahhhh that is true but i never said Rotas were touring car championship material But as far as my opinion goes, i just the looks of the slipstream better, i think on hatchbacks like the yaris, a wheel with a little wider spokes look better. Thats just me, and ive heard alot more good than bad about rotas.

Somewhat on topic, Tamago, Russell, do you have any experience with Lenso wheels? While some of their designs are "inspired" by other brands, they now have quite a lot of bespoke (hehehe) designs. And they are a local company, I believe, so there's a certain price advantage.
I am looking particularly at these: Lenso "Project D" 01 15x7, ET38, 4x100 single drilled, but no idea about the weight...

I would imagine most people who buy a Yaris are probably the kind of people who like to save a buck were they can. If I were driving a Ferrari than Id spend the extra to get the high quality rims. I think the real question is, how do the rotas hold up in comparison to other rims of similar price/weight

Depends on what your definition of "holding up" is. Probably will hold up for putting around town. For serious racing? Probably not.
Heavy, not ALWAYS strong. Sometimes it can be. |

that's the tread where Tamago's "heavy = strong" comment came from. :) he wasn't serious. |

I laughed reading that thread. A 15 x 7 should weigh around 9 - 10 lbs.

Nope, not sarcasm. Sorry to burst your bubble but 13-15 lbs for a set of 15 x 7 wheels is better off used as gym weights than on your car. I don't think your Yaris will appreciate it especially if you are prepping it for AWESOME!!1!!!!!11!1
Hey at least it will be a cheaper gym membership than 30 bucks a month. |

I was talking about wheels in the other thread (and the guy defending his wheels), i never even implied it to your case. But since you brought it up, i just ribbed you for a little fun. I have no idea what slipstreams weigh because everyone has their own number.
