A long time ago, I read that for every pound you add to a wheel it's like adding seven pounds to the car.

So, if you add wheels that weigh 5 lbs more, that's 35x4 -- it's like putting 140 lbs in your car.

How much do the JDM wheels weigh?

I am told they weight 15 -16 lbs in 16". I thought that there is/was a thread about the weight of the factory wheels and a weight of 17 lbs came from a part desk that weighed them.

So if weight is more important than # of spokes, are there specialties of the OEM wheels beyond weight, as there are a fair amount of wheels that weight less that the factory OEM and look much better.
