Default thinking about changing my wheels

so i have rx8 wheels and ive decided that the looks dont justify the 22.5lbs that each wheel weighs (without tires) so im thinking of selling those and getting new, lighter wheels.
hopefully im selling my old stock tires for 50$ a piece so ill get 200$ from that, and i dont know how much 2004 rx8 rims are worth. maybe 100$ a piece? (anyone know)
what are your guys input/suggestions?

Depends on the condition (curb rash, scratches, etc), whether it includes TPMS, where you're located, etc. Are these the 5-spoke wheels that look the same on the previous gen Mazda 3?

I've seen them go anywhere from $250-600 in SoCal.

Mazda RX8 Wheels - $400 w/ tires.

My current 18's are 20.6lbs each and while I like how they look I'm even starting to wonder if I should've went with a 14lbs 17" wheel instead. I can't really imagine going to an RX-8 wheels that is even heavier than what I currently have...

LOL - that is hilarious. Those were the ones I was looking at. I'd go for it...14.1lbs for a 17" wheel is LIGHT.

I think those are a good choice in wheels. I was looking at them too.
