A lot of things on our cars are not optimized not because Honda did not think about it , but COST . They put the money where it would do the most good . Of all the things that we can do to our cars reducing weight is the most beneficial . It does not reduce dependability ,but

Hi guys,
i received my new 19 inch wheels last week and
the weight is not so high!!!
stock wheels with 205-55-16=18 kg.
225-50-16=19 kg.
AZEV wheels with 215-35-19=19 kg.
255-30-19= 20.5kg.
Sure i'll probably have less power and torque but it's so nice...
Good exhaust,good CAI and it's OK!!!
