id say about 12-13lbs. just a guess. it's only 15x6 so pretty small. it's pretty light weight.

I had swapped wheels for a set that I had from my old car (~10 lbs each). The wheels felt heavier than 15 lbs and I went to weigh it at the post office. Came out to 17 lbs - 6.4 oz without TPMS. Pretty heavy for a car with the power output of the Fit, but very strong wheel (very thick). Made for durability and the weight is about average for factory 15" wheels.

Smile How did it handle with the lighter wheels?

I'm hoping that it felt like it had more power and better gas mileage.

Definitely revs smoother and feels more nimble.

Conversely, I just upgraded to 17s that weigh 21.5 lbs each. I can definitely tell a difference off the line.

I am considering the 15" Enkei RPF1 they weigh 10 lbs. Thats 32lbs less rotating mass. Should feel the difference.
