Finally got my Work XD9 on my FD.......

Guys, after 4 months wait, my rims are finally here. I love them so much. They are F18x8 and R18x9 with Falken RT615 F235/40 and R265/35. The ride is surprisely good with these low profile tires.

The RT-615 isn't available in a 245/35 18....more's the pity.

Any idea what the combined weight was tire and wheel, or even just wheels?

i've heard emotions are pretty heavy.

Hey Rishie, from https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=508351,
Ravspec says they weight between 19 to 22lbs, so yeah that's not exactly RPF1 or CE28N light, but they're alright.

Rishie,
The wheel alone is 22lbs, they're not light but not super heavy. But for a half price of the Volks, I think they are pretty good deal....

I'd have passed on the *blue* lug nuts, but the wheels and car look nice. Congrats.

For some reason, when i re-size the picture in order to upload here, the quality changed. How do I upload it in full size?

Nice.

Another thing to think about is the Falken Azenis RT615s are heavy as hell. I have them in the rear on my car and they are super sticky though.

I think I remember seeing that S03's are half the weight of the Falkens in the same size or something.

Not. Any tire with stiff sidewalls will be heavy and pretty much all of the top performance tires are within a couple of lbs of each either in a given size.
