Black rims are so played out. I can't wait to get rid of mine. Something in a satin aluminum or machined finish would be great; not polished, because these cars don't have anything shiny on the outside to carry the finish out.
The stock 16's are 19lbs, and my storms are 15lbs (if I remember right). So thats 4lbs per corner, plus is dead weight (unsprung) so 1lbs= 4lbs. Intotal I lost 64lbs on the car. It's like a 5hp gain when you think about it, because 100lbs= 10hp and .1 in the 1/4 mile. Obviously it's all theory and 5hp isn't really much but its nice knowing that lol.
I didn't think going from a 16 to a 17 would make too much of a difference in handling either but it really did! you will love rims man!
This is what I did when I had my Konig Hurry's. I put the 17" stockers on for winter (because I hated the ZN anyway). Plus the weight difference was definitely noticeable.
I plan on getting some Centerlines as well in the future. Maybe the RPM in silver. You know, for the track and if I ever get into auto-x. I believe Blackbetty is right, they most 17's weigh in around 15lbs a piece. The 15's are even lighter, but tiny imo.
