Hey whats up. I just got a new set of 15" Konig Heliums. They are flat black and weigh just a shade over 10lbs (10.7). They came 2 to a box and I could not believe how light they where! Compared to my MR7 16" Motegi rims these weigh less then half that. Just ordered a set of Falkens so they will be on the ride hopefully by the end of the week. Here's some pics, hope you like them.Later, T-Mack
I love my heliums. Mine are silver though. The weight is the best part about the wheels!

Sweet. I can't wait to get them on! I'm sure they will be very responsive when I mash the pedal. How long have you been riding them, no cracks or any issues beacause they are so light?
I have had them on since March of 05. The only issue that I have had is that one has a very miniscule flat spot on it from me hitting a nasty pothole in the road. Thats it, it balanced out, just took a few extra weights. The center caps like to rattle after awhile, so I just removed them.

^^ Thank's man. And yeah the wheel caps feel a little chesse. I was thinking of just trying to get some black honda emblem wheel caps of e-gay and throw them in for a little custom look.

I've been thinking about getting these rims too...just heard some people's have cracked over time. That is the biggest factor in changing my decision. But I may just end up getting them if I can spot a good deal here in Canada...
Did you weigh it accurately @ 10.7lbs or going by store spec??

^^ I here you. I'm still amazed at how light these rims are, all most like there to light to put on you're car. And yes I weighed them on my scales 10.7lbs. I have been eyeing these rims since they came out, and priced around town for them. I was getting ridiculous quotes like $800 and just said fuck it! I found a rim company in Texas on e-gay and bought them dirt cheap for $360 U.S (I live in Canada). So this was a great deal for me. Not to mention I picked up some new Falkens that came 30 minutes after my rims. So picks of the rims on the car tommorow.

I got it from the Chrysler 300M called lava red. It looks like black from far away but the closer you get it turns a real deep purple/burgundy with a little gold flake in it when the sun hits it. I really like it , I allway's get compliments on it. Plus I've never seen another Honda that color.

man i might have to invest in these if i decide not to get the Rotas, 360 shipped sounds a lot better than 430 shipped, not including lug nuts and tool lol
