Did you weigh them? My 3rd gens are HEAVY.Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

Weight always factors into my wheel selection. I had the chance a while back to get some Omni GLH 4 X 100 Swiss Cheese wheels like the five bolt ones I still have from my K-car. However, I had weighed those at around 19 pounds each and I doubted the four bolts would be any lighter (same 15 X 6" size). So I passed, despite loving the look and despite what I recall to have been a decent price for relatively rare wheels.

Weight is the first thing I start with. Too heavy, and there's no look that would make me buy them anyway.
The 14" 3rd gen Escort wheels are heavy enough that I noticed myself overbraking at first when I swapped to the 15" Drag DR-9.
I know nothing about these wheels, but if they're anything like the 14s you may notice a big difference on a Festiva.Last edited by sketchman; 10-01-2013, 07:32 AM.Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.
