They're on that chart. 2001 model miata, it says 13.1 pounds not too shaby. I got the tires and wheels for $500 from a some guy that had em in the paper. The tires that come on the miata are V rated Toyo Proxes too(195/50/15).

Muahahaha http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/tongue.gif
They are better than most other wheels for another reason...the offset is wrong for a honda. You can't tell, just barely when standing next to the car, but the offset makes them sick out a tad...wider is better http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif

The miata wheels are like that too since they're intended for a rear wheel car. The tires stick out right to the edge of the fender. I did have to modify some things though. Little bit of a problem with how the back of the wheel contacts the rotors and drums. Nothing a dremel tool can't fix.

While i didn't about a year ago when i got my car, I really like the older civics now. The one pictured behind my car here is one of the reasons why. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hehe gunmetal on the front, silver in the rear. It stops good though! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif

Hey hows your Neon on AutoX? I hear they handle really well. Did they also have a special version for SCCA a couple years back? Not the R/T

I believe Habib used the word "bubbly, but not as bubbly as a normal neon." http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

It's got very precise turn in and steering, although the stock "touring" struts don't do much for me. I've now 22mm front and rear swaybars that i have yet to autox on and polyrethane bushings. I'm working on getting a set of Konis that came with the competition suspension and stiffer springs. I'd say I do pretty well against other cars with better prepared suspension.

The SCCA model BTW is called the ACR, and it's still available for the 2001 neons.

i would never get lightweight 16 or 17 inch wheels for one reason: the tires weigh a buttload. my bro got some 17" subzeros, and each kumho tire weights MORE than each wheel. it's insane. i think each tire was almost like 20 pounds when we weighed them. biggest i'll go is 15 http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

yea...in the background of mike's picture on the left, thats me and the go-kart http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'd like to say something nice about the neon...other than its got really good gearing in 1st and 2nd, it turns in faster and feels a little stiffer (chassis wise) than a civic...but I can't bring myself to say anything good about his car.

Wait...damn you...lol http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif
