EX Wheel Weight

Hey guys, I want to introduce myself. I currently own a 2010 insight ex and love the car, even though it received rather poor reviews from the auto industry and consumers alike. I have had 0 issues with the car and it's going 87k miles strong, getting mid 40s for mpg. The only thing I had changed were the brakes 1k ago and I now need new rear shocks. It handles really well and for 98 hp it's not bad at all. I've always loved the fit and almost got a ge when I bought my current car. In the next year or 2, I will be looking to trade my car in and I am strongly considering the fit this time around. I do a lot of hiking/mountain biking and traveling. I really like the gk. I am not a huge modifier of cars, but I will want to do a few things, mainly to increase fe. Someone posted on here the wheel weights of the kg alloys from honda parts network (22 pounds). I know this is incorrect bc they list the ge wheels as weighing 20 pounds when in fact they weight around 16. Does/can anyone with a gk find out what the weight of the wheels are? I'm looking at volk super eco 16 inch wheels which weigh 10 pounds! I'm just trying to gather as much info as possible thanks guys!

I have a feeling that the listed weights are shipping weights, including padding and box. You're not going to find any factory wheel anywhere close to 10 pounds. Factory alloys tend to weigh a few pounds more than factory steel wheels since they are made for looks, not weight savings.
