I've been calling junkyards, and all of them seem to want over $200 (shipped) for a set of Insight wheels. Now I'm thinking of buying '80s CRX Si 14" alloys (the ones with 4 big holes). The wheels are flat, and the holes look easy to cover to make a flat disc.

This is the wheel i have in mind:

Opinions?

Anyone know the weight on these?
