+ 1 Also keep in mind that even if you have a 15" and 17" wheel of the same weight the 15' wheel is a better choice due to the weight of the wheel being closer to the center (correct me if i'm wrong).

Sorry to burst your bubble but those wheels do not weigh 13 lbs. They weigh more like 16lbs for the 17" 4x100 wheels and they range up to 19lbs depending on the offset,width and bolt pattern.

Blkbird have you been able to test fit them on your car yet?
