16" wheel choice?

i want 16" rims. i currently have 16" kosei k1's, they're fine but i have a small itch to get either r84 v-spokes or konig rewinds. if i get rewinds i'd get 15". it looks like r84's are only about 2 pounds lighter than my kosei's, can anyone confirm this?

any opinions?

Go here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ead.php?t=2152 or here: http://www.mini2.com/forum/faq.php?f...heel_tire_tech for all factory wheel weights and offsets as well as tire weights.


I believe the K1 TS is 15 pounds, the K1 Raceing is 16 pounds and the R84 x-lite wheel is 18 pounds. I don't know the weight of the 15 inch Konig Rewind.

Hope this helps...

If you like the rewinds but want 16", look at the Panasport FS-16 or Tire Racks ASA JH6.

I found these on Rota's web site while doing research for myself. They are called "Rota RB's". They come in several different off set's and also come in a many different colors. 15 inch weight 14.4 lbs.
