wheel weight on stock rims
 

Hello everyone, I am not an rx8 owner. I own a contour svt. My friend who owns an rx8 was talking with me and he mentioned that there were rims offered from the dealership that were much lighter weight. He wasn't sure of any of the specs and I am curious so I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Weight, Size, what are they made out of. Thanks....

I like the response above, he did not mean what the wheel weights are made of, he is looking for the weight of the wheel.

25 lbs...They are heavy. I believe the lightweight Mazdaspeed wheels are around $450-500/each
