i dont want 17's, way to big. I have a hookup on tyres, so it isnt a problem.

i said i wasnt after looks, just the rubber they can fit.
and sidewall flex = good for traction.
keep the idea's comming. i really didnt want a _new_ set of rims though :-\

give rotas a try. a sport the c8s 15x7 and they weight 5.2kg each (no rubber) i run 195/55/15 and the grip is awesome. the price is sweet as well. got my brand spanking new for under 1000 bucks.
If you're interested give SP0017 a PM he'll def take care of ya.

anything around 5-6kg will be reasonably cheap $300-$400 a wheel, it's when you want a 4kg wheel that'll cost you an arm and a leg $700 a wheel. eg. TE37's.

How wide are factory Honda Alloy's?
They're pretty light, and cheap...
