And i dont think that 12lbs falls under the category "heavy as hell". Considering the weight of the wheels on the car now...

When i start racing formula 1, ill be sure not to get rotas, but for autox i think they will be fine for now.

Does anyone know the actual weight of the stock 15x5.5 steel rim without the tire? not all steel wheels are the same, nor are tires: the one on the corolla, prius, mr2, and yaris all have relatively the same size but different weights on many online charts, some of these charts don't have the correct size so I begin to doubt the weight.
but knowing if the weight is 16lbs or 13lbs is a big deal to me, cause that'd rule out many options-- I am only interested in going lighter with a fair bit of width more...

$2000 wheels on a $9000 car
You know, I was thinkin this to myself earlier.

I would imagine most people who buy a Yaris are probably the kind of people who like to save a buck were they can.

If I were driving a Ferrari than Id spend the extra to get the high quality rims.

I think the real question is, how do the rotas hold up in comparison to other rims of similar price/weight
