honda factory 16 inch wheels in the U.S,A

I have a question about what people think about the Honda rims that are offered in the 16 inch size. I will try to paste a picture of it. The color on these rims can be changed... The rim cost near 150.00 us dollers

There have been several posts from folks asking about the weight of these rims but nobody has put one on a scale that I've seen. The cool thing about these is that they might end up as some kind of collectors' item someday. Factory performance options usually get that way once they haven't been produced for a long time. I assume that they are heavier than a lot of other rims in this price range but you know that they will be quality.

Which factory steel rims do you mean? The ones on the base model?

The factory sport rim and tire we know weigh 35.75# each from another post with photo of wheel on scale. We can guess that the tire weighs about 18#.

How can the color be changed?

If you are interested in rim upgrades, there are hundreds of choices in the aftermarket. You just pick your price range and colors and sizes!

(As for Enkei, they make some very light rims--check out the RPF 1 at 9.5# for the 15" and just 15# for the 17" (www.edgeracing.com))

Thank you great info and insite. I kinda figured it would be a great grab since it will not be made forever.
How would I change the color. Well powder coat would be best or I could go to the auto paint store... There are options. Companies do that for a living

The scale at United Postal Service posted 18 pounds on each boxed rim I received . Minus the weight of the box which I think is are a couple pounds each. The boxes are super heavy duty
