As I said--lighter than steel, but heavier than most of the better aftermarket wheels. I know this is very true for the 2nd-generation (88-91) Honda CRX wheels...

BTW, early Miata rims are also 4x100, and they tend to be decently light. You can probably get them for cheap, since there are a bajillion of those suckers out there.
