I put two of the Honda Insight wheels on a scale that came out of a grocery store and was calibrated for sales of goods and it said that two wheels weighed 21 pounds together, so 10.5 pounds each is what I came up with, I'm not sure of a better way to weigh them, but I tend to trust that scale to be accurate within an ounce less at that weight.
SVOboy, I had a brand new set of drums that came with my 1985 crx hf that I put on my civic VX, from what I remember the part number from NAPA was the same part number for civic's from 1984-1995, not sure about newer civics, but I'll try to compare them when I can as the civic HX might take the same drums as they also have a 4 bolt pattern, my brothers civic is a 1998 civic dx so when we swap snow tires on to it we can pull a drum off and do a test fit.
My next question is if the front disks would fit and if there is a weight savings there as well, I think the front disk calipers would fit from an insight, from comparing photos at least, and the insight has aluminum calipers.
