I am desperately searching for some kind of information as to the wheel weight of a set of American Racing Aero's. 18"x7.5 I believe they are, and i'm looking for the weight of the chrome wheels, not the polished. If anyone finds it, please post the information and the link! I cannot find it anywhere!

I called the place that sells the wheels I got to find out the weights, you should try that. Sometimes not everything is on the web :(

Thats almost what i'm going to be left to do. Almost every wheel BUT the Aero has a weight listed somewhere on the internet. I'm currently shoppin for rims, but i'm pretty sure i'm gettin the Aero's. I just don't want them to be too much heavier than the stock rims, but i'm ready to hear a big number from those 18's being chrome.
Do you think a 22lb rim would be okay? I know stock is 16lb, and I am going to be doing brake upgrades too (trouble with stock ones already), so i'm not worried about braking distance, but what about acceleration. Am I going to be affected that much by a 22lb rim on all corners?
