feather weight 17 inch rims.
Can anyone give me a list of 17 inch rims in a 4x100 pattern that weigh the same or less than the stock 15s on my Fit S? I've looked at trak lites and a few others, but most online vendors don't give weights on their product descriptions. Alot of the cheaper 17 inch rims I've found, weigh 20-26 lbs. Bye-bye gas millage! Thanks for any advice.

This is the most complete listing of wheel weights I have been able to find to date: http://www.wheelweights.net/ . TireRack also lists weights on most of their rims as well.

konig heliums, enkei rpf1s, rojas, gram lights, lots are pretty light but if u go for 17inch ur bound to get some heavy ones, the important thing to realize is that since ur using a 17 inch rim ur gonna be using lower profile tires and that means they're gonna weigh less, you need to look at the whole package and if you can figure it out the moment of inertia

A lower profile tire will be lighter, however, the weight will be further from the rotation of axis and will thus have greater inertia. You have to look at the weight of the whole combination (rims and tires) but you must also consider where the weight is located. For example, a 10 lb weight on the axis of rotation has less inertia that a 10 lb weight 15" from the axis of rotation. I don't recall the formula to figure it out but I imagine someone out there can provide it.

Not sure how much bling, but these are a good example of heavyweight 17s at 24.5 lbs each:

What is your price range? Knowing that will help us to get a ball park about what suggestions to give.
I wanna say SSR Comps, Volk CE28's and other but they might be outta your price range.
A lot of people hate on Rota's but they do make good cheap and light wheels. Since Rota has a huge honda following i'm sure you can find some in the proper size and offset that you need.
