How heavy are your wheels and tires?

[Andy H]

I had my back wheel off today checking the brakes. I always thought they were pretty heavy, they are y2k vette rims 17x8.5. So, I got a scale and rolled it up on it. I was suprised the wheel and tire weighs 57 pounds. My stock wheels and tires weighed 45 pounds each. Is it bad that my wheels weigh that much? Also, this might be a stupid question but how do I know if these wheels are chrome or polished? I can't tell a difference. Oh yeah I have 255/45/zr17 Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 tires vs. stock 235/55/r16 eagle ga's.

mine weigh 63 lbs. i have mille miglia evo 5's and 245/45zr18's... it will hurt your 1/4 mile time, but not the engine... maybe a little low-end acceleration

my slp ss take off 17 x 9's with 275 40's weigh 47 pounds each
my stock 16 x 8 5 star's with 225 50's or 245 50's weigh 46 lbs each
my weld drag lite 15 x 3.5's with 175 80's weigh 27 lbs each!!!!

hey james...could you use thos drag lite rims as daily driver rims?


have u ever seen that picture of magnus's car. i want rims like that.. with big ol' fat tires inthe back, and skinnies in the front..


would this be a good idea for street driving?

Take a look in my sig.
There are pics of my skinnies.
As a daily driver, well I do it sometimes.
I have driven from nj to vermont with them.
Jersey to maryland also.
I like it but it is not for everyone.
Handling sucks
Braking sucks
Looks bad *** though!!
