I found a set of Voxx rims, 19lb a piece. Is that a lot? What's a good weight?

19 is about the max u really want to go if you are that picky about performance. 13-16 pounds is a good weight for a 17 inch rim. my crappy rims are 24.5 pounds a piece 02.gif

good rule of thumb, if a wheel weighs less than its diameter, then it is "lightweight"

Konig Britelites man, they are about 15 pounds for the 16 inchers.

My Konig Traffiks are 13.5 pounds for 16 inches.

You CAN tell the difference, that's for sure.
