Sorry, not lighter than OEM Wheel.
But lighter than most 17" Wheels (Around 23 to 26 Lbs.)

Re: Looking for Suggestions: (Wheels/Tires)
+1 the OEMs are 15 and look fine when lowered imo. So them OGs would look sweet.
If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable!

If you like being lowered on balloon tires I guess that's cool.

Re: Looking for Suggestions: (Wheels/Tires)
Theres quite a difference between mx5s and mx3. As there is also quite the difference from 195 50 and the stock recommended size of 205 55
Slam a mx3 on 195 50 and you will be scrapin the ground everywhere and not filling in the fender wells at all

Re: Looking for Suggestions: (Wheels/Tires)
Im lowered 70-80mm with 195/50/15's (15 x 7jj et35 alloy) so speaking from experience...Slam a mx3 on 195 50 and you will be scrapin the ground everywhere and not filling in the fender wells at all
I dont scrape everywhere , and there is about 1" between the top
of my arch/fender and my tyre.

Re: Looking for Suggestions: (Wheels/Tires)
So you arent that low at all then if you have a 1" gap. I was tucking tire with my setup so I dont think your comment is that valid.
195 50 is much to small of a tire sorry.

Why not just throw some 520-13s with 100 spoke low lows and hit some switches!
