I did read that, sorry but I meant to ask about the weight of the rims (or rather one rim) alone.
The 16" ITRs are lighter? Now thats a surprise... these rims felt heavy when I lifted them. That would only mean that the EK9 rims are worse? (Although the inertia drag would still be less)
How accurate is your scale though?4 bolt ITR wheels are 12.3,
EK9 Wheels weight 15.87 pounds , weighted mine
Lightened wheels improve alot the car acceleration, especially the EKs which are greately affected by weight. If you can afford, buy a set of 15" Volk Rays and your will notice the difference. These rims are the lightest wheels you can find but the most expensive They cost around $1600No worries rvm.
Thanks for the infos SpoonCTR. Around 16 pounds is heavy Considering that the lightest commercial rims are like 8+ pounds.
Do they make a big difference, I wonder? I wanted to purchase a set of Advan RC2 but they were sold.

If you go for the 17", then be prepare to spend around $2500!!
I had a set of volks te37s, but I change them to SSR Type C they are lighter!
volks te37s = 10.58 pounds
ssr type c = 9.70
Both wheels in 15"
Ok thanks for the correction, but how much did you pay for the SSRs and how much for the Volk? I think Volk are way more expensive, right? And the most expensive in the market
