Cant find this info anywhere and i would like to know the wheel only weight without the tire since i am trying to find a lightweight wheel that looks good in black and is 17 inch but still light. im sure others will want to be able to search for this info. thanks.

 

stock tire weighs 23 pounds.
Wheel and tire assembly weighs 47 pounds (i was surprised)
so the wheel alone is about 24 lb....- less the balance weights

And despite the relatively high weight, they're exceptionally delicate. I ruined all four of mine the first month I had the car after hitting a hole made by a missing expansion joint. The tires were not damaged, but the rims were all bent, and one was visably cracked. At over $500 each, and with a $500 insurance deductable, I went with aftermarket wheels for less than the deductable.

 

just to throw it out there...the 17" Redline wheel combo weighs in at about 45lbs, the rims weigh 20lbs...with lighter tires the combo weighs in at 40lbs...just a FYI...

the SAAB 900 3 spoke 16" rims (5x110) weigh about 16-18 lbs...BFG drag radials in the 255/55/16 size, weigh about 25-26lbs...

 

do the cobalt rims weigh more than the g5gt rims( which happen to be a brand name called enrkie) I think the spelling is wrong

 

^^^take off a wheel and go to a post office, they have accurate scales there, thats how we weighed our redline rims...

 

You mean Enkei?

 

Check out these wheels. 15-16lbs.

I like the style too.

 

exactly they make the G5 and G6 wheels for gm

 

not bad but im bent on having a black wheel with some silver to it, maybe like the 19 pound konig unknown. which would be about 5 pounds lighter than stock. not too shabby.
