The tone of the Honda phone representative was that not only will we not tell you the weight but that Honda discourages wheel replacement. She said that somewhere in the owner's manual Honda addresses 'possible' warranty problems that could arise from straying from stock condition. It seemed as if she was trying to cover the unreasonableness of Honda's refusal to answer a simple question by saying that I should have already known that I shouldn't be messing with their already perfect product.

Yes, I could remove a mounted wheel, dismount it from the tire and weigh each of them, but it seems ridiculous to have to. I asked the representative if she knew where the 06 Civic concept car was introduced- the SEMA show. The show celebrates the thousands of aftermarket parts available to modify these cars- ESPECIALLY wheels and tires.

This all reminds me of the military adage that if the Army (or service of your choice) wanted you to have a wife, it would have issued you one....

I thought I'd called Honda, not Volkswagon.
