I'm looking at some HFP 17's for my si 18's will just slow me down

anyone know the weight of an HFP rim, stock si rim is 22 or 23LBs. i think
I'm hoping to bring out the car's natural power with some light wheels but I also want to be able to have some rubber on the tire because I have to drive it on crappy Colorado roads from time to time. the tire on my stock rim should fit on an HFP right, I'd assume so.
I've never had rims other then stock so any recomendations besides HFP maybe a rim that is a few Lbs. less then stock at least.

Go with something lighter. The HFP wheels are heavy. That's why I went with 18" Momo RPM's 19.6 pounds each Cheaper than 18" HFP's and lighter.

I got some 5 zigen fn01r-c in 18" and they're 18 lbs each.
You could also get some traklite's by motegi.. or some volks :]..
There are lots of options.. but you just gotta choose what you think looks nicer.

aftermarket...look at konig's selection...they've always been my favorite!

HFP rims are heavy. 17" are 20 lbs. Stock Si rims are 24 lbs. Plus HFP rims cost a lot for what you're getting. I'd definitely go aftermarket. Work Emotion XT7 are my fav.

While it's nice to have Honda products, I'd have to say I prefer the vast selection of aftermarket wheels.
