Well I had an obligation today that got moved up because of impending weather - so no test and tune. I did however weight the 17x9 AM Bullitt wheel / 28x11.50x17 MT ET Street R Bias combo - 51.5lbs.

Fronts with tire are almost 35lbs each. Rears with the 28x11.5-17 are just shy of 45lbs each. My daily wheels/tires are 50lb each with wheels that weigh 24lbs.

The offset and fitment are dead on with the SSR wheels.
Thx for the pics. They look great.

I think I'm going to go with the enkeis in17x9 with 45 offset with hoosier 28x10x17 for maximum weight savings. Ill post pics and weight differences with a month. Thx to all for all fine great info.

I just ordered a complete set of the MR135s in 18". I read on a civic forum that the 9.5" wheel is 21 lbs.

I ordered 9.5s for the rear to run my 305 ET SS Dr's and some 8.5's for the front.

Matte black not offered any longer so I went with silver.. might have them PC'd before I install.

Thanks for this thread OP!! Opened up some more options....

I see you went with 18s and OP went with 17s, did you go with 18s just to have matchin fronts?

I actually have a set of new tires sitting around that are 18”. Front’s are 255 nitro 555g2’s and tears are MT ET Street SS in 305/35.

I wanted a light set of rims to match up with these tires.

My rears came in today.

For anyone interested, the MR135's in 18x9.5 45mm offset weigh exactly 23.1 lbs on my scale.


Fronts should deliver tomorrow and are 18x8.5. They should be about a pound lighter... ~22 is my guess. Will report back.

For the guys matching the fronts with MR135s, what rim offset and tire size are you getting?

Fronts actually came in... weighed them at 21.2 bls each... almost 2 lbs lighter than the rears.

Fronts are 18x8.5.. 35mm offset.
