    I saw this:

    2010 Prius
    15X6J: 5X100mm PCD, 45mm offset
    15inch: 7.4kg - 16.3 lbs

    Written by David Beale here. Can somebody confirm if that weight is correct? I've been looking around and I get conflicting info; what's an official source for wheels weights? I'm def not putting in the right words when researching.

    I wanna buy Motegi MR116 for summer and they weigh 16 lbs. If it's the same weight good - if not: I might reconsider.

    EDIT: MR116 in silver are not in stock. Switching for Enkei J10, just want to confirm 14.4 lbs weight - some websites list it as 17 lbs and it's not right ottomh.

    Why fret over a pound or two or three? Buy the wheels you like to look at and run those. If you are not autocrossing or drag racing a lighter weight wheel that will give you a few tenths of a second faster race time will not matter on a street car. If you are worried about using more fuel with a lighter weight wheel, I think it will be minimal.

    Our stock 3rd gen 17" are around 24 lbs IIRC. It's the cross I bear... :rolleyes:

    I heard it wasn't that minimal. Either way, I liked those Enkei, I was considering them since last year.

    Mine came with 15" original wheels. I heard they might be 16lbs or so, so I didn't want to go over too much.
