weight of stock 16'' X 8'' rim on my bird?

[ramair6]

hey guys i was wondering if u knew what the weight of my stock 16'' rim i have and does having a 17 by 9'' rim add considerable weight to the car?

my stock wheels with tires 235/55/16 weighed around 45 pounds, my 18x9's with tires weigh 56 pounds and with those on i lose .3 in the 1/4.

according to UPS when I had 1 wheel shipped to me it was 22lbs so proably knock off a pound or 2 for the box and styrofoam peanuts and I think it would be safe to say 19-20 lbs.. about going to 17's unless it is a purpose built light weight wheel I think the consensus is that you will increase the wheel weight..


edit: discovered a typo...

I know my damn rear wheels are heavy as **** when they have full tread.

does anyone know where i can find light weight 17 inchers? ive been looking everywhere even at import wheels but no one seems to make any that fit our cars :( :(

you can get some of the really expensive forged wheels like fikse... but when i say really expensive, i mean $500 a wheel [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]

not really worth it. be like a civic and just use steelies when you're at the track.

haha, i think they are more like 700 a wheel now, unless they dropped the price back down...
