My boss said he will give me a set of 91 Honda Accord rims with pretty much brand new tires for a song ( well, actually a painting of his daughter )

My question to you guys is if the stock steel 13 " wheels that I have on the car now weigh less than the 14" alloys that he would give me, thereby canceling out the aero benefits.

I don't know the size of the wheels.

I may have to take them anyways, since i slid into a curb and banged up one of the rims.

Oh, and by the way : YKYAEM when the guy says that the tires are almost 'brand new' and you sigh because your old tires are just getting broke in.

Also, I wanted to add these to the list : Alloy wheels for a mid 90's Mercury Mystique :

I wonder about that lip though.
