Yup, they are 15' but they are slightly wider by half an inch from the other 15' rims.

The 'vert wheels are the lightest.
I'd guess that they're around 12lbs.

Exclamation BBS Wheels

’88 through ’91 RX-7 factory BBS wheels:
15"x7"
5 lug (114.3 mm with +38 mm offset)
Definitely the lightest of all 7's.

I had mine shipped to me and shipping weight was 28 lbs for all 4, unless the center cap adds 5 lbs I don't think that 12 lbs sounds right. Could be wrong though.

Edit: And they are 15x 6.5 like the first guy said.

The same style wheel used on the Miata 95 M Edition in the size 15x6 weighs 11.0lbs - http://www.miata.net/faq/wheel_weights.html#weight

There's no way they weigh 6-7 lbs (28/4) each.
