I want to buy some better looking wheels but would like to find some as light as, or lighter than, the stock wheels. I've found some as light as 10-12 lbs each. I'm thinking lighter wheels might also help improve mileage a little.

I know the HCH wheels are a "lightweight alloy" but does anyone know how much they actually weigh without the tire?

sirlan,
My guess would be around 14lbs, but thats purely a guess, and if the pattern is 4x100, i may be interested in your originals if you get new ones.
Cheers,
Steven

Looks like I'll have to actually weigh one. Neither the dealer nor Honda Cars of NA could tell me. Same thing with the hood weight. I'm sure a carbon fiber hood would lighten it but I'd like to know how much before I order.

Steven -- I'll keep you in mind if I do find something that works for me. Not sure how long that might be, though.

sirlan,
Its cool, i'm just looking to get some alloys eventually and i like the wide spoke design...so long term isnt really a problem
Cheers,
Steven

Hi Steve:

___Hey, if you ever come across a set of 03/04/05 Corolla Alloys (the 6 spokers) as shown below w/ new or slightly used Integrity’s in your neck of the woods, let me know. I have been looking for a set for what seems like forever. I have been the high bidder on maybe 12 E-Bay auctions of these but they usually have a hidden reserve that is just out of reach … The Corolla’s Integrity’s are on their last 2/32’s and they really really need to be replaced if you know what I mean.
