40lbs mounted and balanced?

 

what size tire and wheel

 

205/40/17

 

it's an ok weight for the combo. what kind of rims and tires?

 

seems a little heavy b/c i think sum1 on here put 18s on with that same weight.

 

eagle wheels and wan li tires. I wasn't really sure if they would be light weight or not , but I figured I'd ask anyways.

Thanks for the opinions.

 

i have heard and seen that wanli tires are not really that great. i could be wrong and someone correct me but i heard they are sh*t.

 

40 lbs isnt anything special, but a decent weight. Seeing how most wheels 17" weight less than 20 lbs and most tires around 16" anyways weigh 20 lbs.

 

my 18" combo is under 38 lbs. i need lighter tires.

 

seeing how ur wheels are 14lbs.....hells ya u need lighter tires!

How much were ur wheels if u dont mind me asking?

 

I did a little research and as far as I can tell they are middle of the line.

I can't afford much more anyways. But for a strictly summer tire I think they'll be fine.

 

How much do the base model wheel/tire/hubcap () weight?

 

Hahaha exactly my point! If this combo is at least a little lighter I'll be happy .

 

yeah, my tires are toyo proxes 4 225/40/18. my rims aren't that light. they are 14.7 lbs. my rims are listed at $650 each.

 

Yeah and Mine are $140. Can you spot the difference?

 

haha toyo proxes 4. i had those on my cts needless to say i blew up 4 of them. LOL potholes suck on LI even at 30 mph. So yeah i blew out four sidewalls. I had to buy 6 tires all together and only had the car for 2 years. car only had 30k when i returned it too.

 

damn... good things roads are flat here

 

i've hit about 20 or more potholes going over 60 mph and never had a blowout or a dent on my rim. not buying another set though.

 

anyways thanks for the info, I've got a good idea of things for me now.

Thanks guys.

 

For comparison the stock ss/sc wheels and tires (215/45/18) weigh about 50lbs....

 

The stock 16" wheels and Michelins were exactally 40 pounds each. The 17" on there now are 37.5 lbs.

 

Those are 17's in your sig? How tall a tire are you running cause they look smaller than 17.

 

215/45-17

 

they honestly look like 16s from the angle of that pic.

Not bashing, just saying bro.

I'm getting 205/40/17, Maybe it's the height of the tire.?

 

yours are gonna be the same way...205/40/17 is a tire combo that is mostly used on Civics. That tire is gonna look like a rubberband...

At the very least you need to go 215/45/17
