8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - $10 alloy wheels on discount tires site! OMG

Just tracked them, they are 40 lbs for the wheel/tire combo and that includes packaging of 1-2 lbs or so per wheel. So, at 38-39 lbs, at least they are lighter than a civic ex 16" wheel/tire combo at 40.5 lbs, but heavier than the 34 lb oem hybrid wheel/tire combo.

Maybe since I ordered the tires too, maybe they had already mounted the tires before catching the pricing error and figured no sense dismounting the tires from the rims at that point!

BTW, who would pay $100 a rim for these. I had to think about it for an hour at $10.00 a wheel!
