I have a set of slipstreams for my old honda, 15", bought them about 4 years ago. The first thing I did when I got them was throw them on the scale - 14lb.
lol either your information is wrong or my slipstream is a knock off of another knock off
I havne't personally weighed a Spoon SW388, but Spoon advertise the 15" to be only 8.5lbs!!

This is from a Group Buy on the Elise forum for Slipstreams:

Spoon may be in the 8.5-9lbs for the 15" wheels, however Slipstream's 12.5-13lbs is still not bad given the price. I would also wager that 90% of the people on this forum or most others wouldn't be able to realize the weight difference in their driving.

You should be able to run 205/50-15's up front and 245/45-16's in the rear without rubbing.

Your scale might not be accurate, the width might be different, the offset might be different, all that can add up to it giving you a different weight. Still, a 14lb 15" wheel isn't that bad.

Slipstream 15 x 7.5 = 13.3 lb http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...t/60-1372.html
Goodwin weighs the wheels themselves, as some manufacturers weights have proven to be unreliable.
