Mr Detailer

I'm looking into getting new wheels for summer, but I would like to know how much the stock wheels weigh. I don't want to get new wheels that are much heavier than the stock ones, since they will only slow me down and decrease my gas mileage.
Does anyone know the weight of the 15" alloys?
How about the weight of the Miata 16" 5-spoke alloys?
What is the offset of both of those?

Thanks for any help.

I think I've read that the stock 15 inch are about 17 lbs. There are a fair number of wheels out there that are under 14 lbs, down to around 8 lbs if you have the money to spend. Not all of them fit the Protege of course. Check on the major tire sites for the offset and selection

www.whalentire.com often lists the weight.
