I may be able to get my claws on a set of Honda Si wheels (see picture) at what seems to be a decent price. The intended use would be for RallyX.
Can anyone tell me the weight of these?
Would they be sturdy enough for RallyX?
Any other input?
Thank you

Weight? No idea. Sturdy enough? Yes.
What are they going on to? There are three different common 4x100 center pilots. I would like to say Honda were 57mm, which means that they fit everything but Nissan, which was 59.

Going on my Ford Econobox ZX2 which is 54.1
I believe the Honda is 56.1
A router and a carbide bit will make them fit anything.........
The nice thing about the 'scrote is that it's a universal receiver. Anything will fit it.
I had a B12 Sentra and a set of ZX2 wheels. Worst of both worlds.
Be mindful those wheels use a ball seat lug nut not a more traditional taper seat. Make sure you get the right nuts.
Weight: Reasonably light
Strength: Yes

XLNT, I wasn't aware of the ball seat lug nuts. Thank you

15" "Swirlies". Got them in unintentional trade for a set of mint NA 14" steel wheels with center caps and trim rings.
I gave them to a friend for "the scrote" (a '99 ZX2) for winter tires. He met a phone pole at the co-driver side B pillar at about 50mph. Car was totalled, he had no interest in owning another 4x100 car, I got the wheels.
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
Swirlies are queasy. I have the "daisies".
Phone poles can be very convincing. But blaming the wheels is denial-ish.
In reply to L5wolvesf :
Oh, he didn't blame the wheels. He blamed going 60 down a plowed road that suddenly wasn't plowed, the car bounced hard after it hit the snowbank dividing the two, and then things got squirrely.
IIRC it was the third time he totalled the car. The first two times were easy fixed. This one, well, the car bent hard enough in the middle that the trunk didn't close. Done.
His future wife was in the passenger seat, she couldn't lift her arms over her head for a month due to all of the soft tissue injuries.
If anyone has an idea of the weight of these wheels I would appreciate it. Thank you
