I have a 2007 HCHII. Like several owners, I have been looking for a replacement wheel. I have found several light weight wheels, in the 14-17 lb/wheel range. I have been under the impression that lighter wheels would preserve the acceleration of the HCHII, eve lighter than the stock 15" wheel. Tehn I got to think that some of the members have changed to the EX 16" wheel, which I wouold guess is heavier than the stock ones. Many comment that there is little if any MPG change. This led me to think that wheel design, ie. 5 spoke, 6 spoke, 7 spoke, dual 6 and 7 spoke and other designs may alter the MPG simply because of design and not necessarily the mass of the wheel.

Anyone have any thoughts about the design of the wheel affecting MPG, and would more spokes (i.e. 7-10 spokes) reduce MPG more than fewer (i.e. 5 spokes)?

So in my effort to find interesting wheels I came across 16" JDM ITR DC2 Integra Type-R wheels. See here:

Any comments appreciated.
