They're not as light as the pro race stuff I don't think but my 16 in comps are a hell of a lot lighter than my 15in SXis so they are probably lighter than most.

I maybe wrong then, always thought they were heavier than a lot of wheels out there. I know mine always felt a bit heavy compared to others.
Nice wheels though, cant go wrong with them!

i thought comps were heavy , but you couldnt break them.
also steve have you felt the weight of the rear folding back seats in a sport ?? if you had that out and the passenger seat out iimo you would feel the difference if you went for a spirited drive in the country... where jed lives .

Comps are heavy wheels. I had 15s and they were heavier than the 16" Speedlines that they replaced.
As said, they are built to to last and take punishment.

yup, not the lightest at all, definitely built to withstand more than normal wheels.

If anything, just removing the interior without addressing reduction of mass anywhere else on the vehicle will actually make the car feel slightly less agile in the corners. The best way to improve a vehicles perceived agility is to try and reduce the masses at the furthest point from the vehicle's center of gravity.

Am I missing a spelling? or the fact they are heavy? I'm thinking I have spelt "light" wrong ? Is it lite?
