i just went outside and weighed one of my stock 17" wheels with a stock tire on it (somewhat worn tread) and it weighed 42 lbs. i was wondering if anyone had the weight of just the wheel without the tire....

also i just ordered Kyowa KR210 18x7.5 and was hoping someone would know the weight of this wheel as well

im hoping im saving weight haha

So you care about wheel weight, yet purchased wheels without knowing how much they weigh?

i didnt say i cared before buying them im just curious as to what these weigh, and if they weigh less then awesome, if not, oh well. i ordered the KR210 cuz so far its the most awesome wheel ive seen that i like that fits in my budget. if i had no budget id be getting CCW's

is that the stock wheel weight or the kyowa, judging i weighed the stock at 42 with a tire im assuming you mean the kyowa wheel?

You would be surprised by how heavy tires can be.

the kyowas will way alot im guessing..

stock wheel weight varies from 19-22 as it has been posted, but most say that the tire/wheel combo is 42lbs as you stated.

depending on what tires you get and how much the rims weigh, i would say you will be at least close to the 45lb+ range, thats almost 3lbs per corner, which is ALOT.

yeah looks like ill have to do some performance mods to make up for it, not that im complaining hehe

not that simple..... weight is the performance killer

Yes, but if you look at all the responses in all the threads on this topic (way too many), you'll find everything from 19 to 22 pounds has been stated.

The general consensus does seem to be 19 pounds, based on people weighing the stock wheel/tire combo, and given that The Tire Rack states the stock tires weigh 23 pounds.

u can reduce the weight by adding helium instead of air! j/k!

i didnt find any threads on it, my bad. i hate the search function on this forum

yeah i know, for every one pound of rotating mass your adding 7 static lbs. i want to get a ZPI head and match it with an alphawerks header and some good tuning, that should do enough for now

--Final_Wrath--

well if your getting tires with the rims and all four weighed 192...that means that each one is 48lbs....That should be just like factory.....Btw, what tires are you getting??

ishb3w
