Finally scored an extra set of wheels for my ep3! Thanks to Benito for a great deal on his extra RSX wheels! I was set to paint them but got a very reasonable powder coating bid and couldn't resist. I also picked up a new pair of Toyo r1r's so now I have a full set on my now 10 lbs. lighter per wheel setup! Next local event is 3 weeks away... Don't know if I can wait that long!

The color is Pearl Gray! :mbiggrin:

Yeah, 17's would look even better! It's funny to me that the wheels are stamped Honda on the inside and not Acura.

Nice. How much do the wheels weigh?

I weighed them at 16.5 lbs. I never had a chance to weigh my stock wheels but I read on here that they are 25 - 26 lbs. I was amazed when I first picked up one of the RSX wheels! I pretty much instantly decided they were going to be my summer wheels instead of winter.

Wow, that looks so clean. Are the RSX wheels really that light?

Yeah, i was seriously amazed the first time I picked one up. Granted, these are 16's. The 17's are probably a little heavier. I need to paint my calipers now that they are in plain sight for the first time.
