Wheel Weights now posted

[Dominic]

Wheel weights are now available on my website under suspension tech.

Here is what I have so far:
Wheel Weight (lbs.)
WS6/ZR1 (chrome) 20.25
10 Spoke SS (painted) 20.5
10 Spoke SS (chrome) 21.0
Firehawk (painted) 22.0
Firehawk (chrome) 23.0
Firebird/Z28 16" (painted) 19.5
C5 Front 20.5
C5 Rear 23.0
Mille Miglia 17x9 25.5

You'll note those cheap Mille Miglias from tire rack are not light, I dont recommend them. [img]smile.gif[/img]

pgriffith, I picked up a 15x12 drag light before w/one hand. Not too heavy at all. 15x8 should be alot less. Not sure what the actual weight is. Would guess less than 15lbs. Cold forged alum is sweet! :D

here is some stuff i collected at one point:

this is the c5 (thin spoke) from performance wheel outlet:

performance wheel 250 17x? 22 lbs

g2 couldnt give me an exact weight on their c5 replica rims so this is an estimate including the weight of the shipping box:

g2 c5 replica 17x8.5 ~25.6 lbs

12second says this is the weight for the stock wheels and it seem right:

stock 16x8 19 lbs

slp told me that the firehawk was the following:

firehawk 17x9.5 20 lbs

from the guys at autumn fleet sales:

afs zr-1 replica 17x9.5 20.5

some tire weights (from dunlop's website) just to give an idea what a total wheel might weigh:

sp sport 5000 245/50R16 27 lbs
sp sport 5000 245/45R17 25.8 lbs

dominic, what c5's are you quoting @ 20 lbs? the thick spokes c5's on slp website?

I was just about to ask the weight of the ZR-1/SS rims,.,.,. So I should expect the painted SS 5-spoke to weight .5 less than chrome(like the 10 spoke)?? and it should be 19.75lbs???

I just read the other day, where someone said the 10 spokes weigh 2lbs less than the 5 spoke SS wheels,.,.,.

As in me?
I've never weighed any of my rims w/o tires.
I have however weighed all my rim and tire packages together.

bfranker has more wheel weights, Im updating mine tomorrow with some additional weights from his site.

Fikse 17x9.5 FM5s are 18lbs :D

i believe you estimated the rim weight knowing the weight of the tire. its seems pretty close. i checked against mine and its 19 lbs to within the accuracy of the scale (about .5 lbs)

16x8 are light -- less metal. 17x19.5 is a bigger rim, weighs about a 1 lb more but the tire weighs about a pound less.

i would like to get a real weight for the g2 replica rims instead of the 'in the box' weight. these are supposed to be 'light' but i have difficulty in accepting a 4 lb box.

I wonder how much 16,17,18in. Eagle 077s weigh? According to everyone here everyone and their brother has a set???

[Ender2664]

WTF. My buddy has 15inch rims, which yes i realise are smaller than 16, but his rims are only 9 pounds! Is there any set of rims that i can buy that weight around 15 pounds? I want like stockish size.
