There is not enough information there to decide if those will fit a tiburon.

You need bolt pattern and offset information.

Also..how light is light? They don't list the weight.

They also don't say what they are made of. They are charging $125 a wheel. Enkei RP01 or ER01 are the same price from www.tires.com and those ARE light wheels.

In that case, as long as they are the look you want...go for it.

QUOTE
If I remember right, the stock tibby alloys are 28 lbs. but I do not know if that is with tire or without tire. I will be getting new tires put on my old stockers, so I should know soon.

Above: From you Random.....

Did you find ot if that is with the tire or not??.....is 21lbs a rim good....if is with the tire how much do tires weight? hmmmm


and ok ok so if the new rims i want weigh 21 lbs a piece and the kuhmo tires 205/45ZR17 88W = 21.8 lbs also weigh 21 pounds does that mean that each rim/tire would be 42 pounds??? please tell me no.....if so **** getting rims.....

also how could the stock tire/rim combo be 28 lbs.....the average tire is almost 20 pounds that means that the 15" rims would be less than 10 pounds....maybe i am missing something

If they are 21 lbs...that is NOT light.

I would call "light" anything under 17 lbs in a 17" wheel.

Yes, the stock 15" wheels are fairly light. My 17" Konig Rated-R's and tires were 42 lbs each.

The stock set I weighed were 35 lbs each for wheel/tire. I think the stock wheels are about 15-17 lbs, but I won't know for sure for a couple of more weeks yet.
