I still have and have been using the original 1998 stock 14" alloys, which weigh about 16lbs - 18lbs. The 13" VX wheels at 9.7lbs. So the difference is significant.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
