How heavy is the new tire and wheel combo? The Honda rims are supposedly 16 lbs... which isn't too bad for a 16" rim.
EDIT:
Nevermind... just saw the pics... great job!

The tire was 0.3lbs lighter then stock, the wheel and tire combo is 5lbs lighter then stock. The car accelerates considerable quicker off the line it's not really noticeable on the highway. It does handle better. It that's simply because it has a better and wider tire not just the weight difference. The gas milage haven't suffered any, it's too early to tell once I burn through this tank of gas I can get a accurate measurement if it took a hit or not.

Yes there is considerable difference in acceleration from a stop. It feels like i have shorter gearing because it gets moving so easy. Freeway i cant tell much, it does feel slightly bumpier but not sure if that is contributed by the tire sidewall design or the lighter weight wheel/tire causing suspension to be more reactive. I do notice the car doesn't skip around as much on the bumpy corners as much as it used to.

I looked at those but i wanted a good quiet all season general purpose tire that didn't weigh more then the stockers, the Hankook Ventus V2 Concept fits that description, great tire for $68 each and lighter then stock!!
