2019 EX, Just swapped out the stock shoes with Velox Apex wheels (13 pounds!) and Yokohama Avid Ascend tires. The dust is because of the gravel driveway I live at the end of. Had it for less than a week and I'm still getting used to all the new stuff, got my first taste of the automatic headlights last night. Black wouldn't have been my first choice, but the other option would have been silver with added leather, and my car spends a fair amount of time sitting in the sun, so leather is right out as an option.
So according to my scale the stock wheels+tires are 43 pounds. According to Discount Tire's website the total weight of my new setup is 32 pounds. So I may have dropped 11 pounds per corner.

That is a good amount of weight loss. If only it were as easy for me to lose that weight.
Our roads aren't generally that bad, but I did drive over a curb by accident about a month after I got them and chipped one of them. I didn't have to replace it.
My 2016 EX also with winters.
I'm sure many of you will recognize the wheels
Much easier to find tires than the stock 16's (185/65/15 has far more brands and models to choose from).
Set of 4 was only 240 (wheels and tires)!
