13kg for stock EM1 rims sounds heavy! Thats with tyres isn't it DOCH16?

These aren't LIGHT by far just to give people a rough idea

16" Stock Nissan R33/S14 Rims 16x6.5"jj weights 8.5kg (without tyres)
17" Sparcos with tyres 20kg (with tyres) 10kg (withouttyres 17x9"jj tho)
18" DTM rims Shadow Chrome deep dish 24kg (with new FALKEN tyres 265/35/18) HEAVY!! made my car 1 sec slower 0-100km/h

Mate mine are less than 5kg each (TOMs).
Light RIMS are supose to help with handling as there is less rotational force.
Learnt that from the new Best Motoring DVD with the NEW EVO 8.

Yeah the dc2r are about 5.5kg i had a set. They aren't bad at all. I believe the s2000 rims are about 5kg which are a touch lighter.

Note they are currently for sale with dunlop FM901

tyres are tyres man.

not true - there is lots of variations (even 1kg+) in the weight of tyres of the same size
