OZ Superleggera, 15x7et37, Race Silver, with Continental ContiExtreme Contacts, 205/55-VR15. I'll mount them tomorrow and post pics on-car after my rings get here. ;)

They look great, good choice. Looking forward to seeing them on a blue si. Did you consider the 16's as well?

Thanks. Yeah, I considered 16s, but I didn't want to spend more and get less performance.

They are very highly rated on tirerack.com. They're supposed to be one of the quietest high-performance tires, which is what I'm looking for. They're not going to stick as well as ES100s or S-03s, but those tires aren't as quiet.

Yeah, I'm going to see if the postal scale at work will go that high.

Just weighed them with the bathroom scale: 32 pounds. I was hoping for a couple of pounds lighter, but I'll take it. I'm glad I didn't get the 16s. ;)

mine were 38lb with the 225 tires. which was still lighter than the stock wheels with bald tires.

38? Your tires are about 27 pounds?

The stock 195 tires must be pretty light, given the OEM wheel is 19.5 pounds.

225's aint light. plus, i think the scale reads high, but in comparison, the stock tires wieghed in at 35lb completely bald.

so the whole combo is quite a bit lighter than stock.
