Has anyone actually weighed just the aluminum wheel for an HCHII? If so, how much does it actually weigh?

I also noticed the brake dust of course the rears have drum brakes (no external dust), my Z3 gets black dust just sitting there. The looks are acceptiable its not a show car.

I don't know about the speed-o-meter error, will take my hand held GPS and check it out.

Honda had a class action law suit on the error, so I expect it will be in spec.

The tires have very low rolling resistance so road holding is not as good, cannot have both dang laws of physics.

I like the '09 wheels over the '08-'06 and the 1st gen's too

They really are different, look closely, I didn't realize it until I was checking out the rear disk brakes and realized there was something different there.

Good catch! Yeah, the new wheels have the slits running along the circumference cut through.
