Does anyone know what the weight of the 2.4SS 17" wheel is? I'm just wondering, b/c i'm considering using my tax return to purchase new wheels/tires. However, i'd rather not buy any wheels that are heavier than the stockers. I'd love to inch up in diamater w/ 18"s, but I feel that they will just be too heavy for what I desire performance wise. Most importantly, I want a wider wheels, preferably 8" wide to fill out that nasty void between the wheel and the outside edge of the fender. Any help?

(wheels i'm highly considering are 18"x7.5" Axis Reverbs in gunmetal and 18"x7.5" Enkei EVO 5 wheels. However, if either are much heavier than my stockers, than I might either stick with stock or settle for some Motegi Trak-Lites).

 

I would be interested in knowing the weight of both the stock ss 17s, and ss/sc 18s.

 

I would also like to know the wheel weight of the 17s on the g5 GT

 

Not to be a smartass, but couldn't you just take a wheel off, and go weigh it on a personal weight measurer (like the ones you step on)?

Sorry if that comes across as being an *******, but I think that would be the best thing to do (although that would include the tire as well, and if you're looking for just the rim......couldn't help. Maybe take it to a tire shop and see if they could take the rim off the tire and weigh it and then reinstall the wheel, might cost a little though)

 

take your wheel off, take it inside and get naked.. get on a scale, weight urself first then grab the tire/wheel and wieght urself again and just asume or guess.. I say the 17's weight 25lbs the 18's naturally will weight more.. anyways ya someone tell us

 

When I weighed mine I got 48 lbs. with tire as well

 

Is that the ss 17, or ss/sc 18?

 

w.e 48pd wheels..not in this world

 

ss 2.4 17's.

try reading my whole post ........WITH TIRE

Got it this time?

 

lol. did you get naked?

 

what?

 

did you weight it naked.... read post #5

 

hmm, I wasn't aware you had to get naked to slap a rim with tire on a scale you don't have to weigh yourself with it

 

the ss/sc wheels weigh in at about 25 lbs. and the 17 inchers weigh in at about 23 lbs.

 

^ Thanks for the info

 

No, you don't *have* to....but any reason to get naked is a good one!!

 

uhh, b/c I dont exactly feel like taking off the tire. Thats alot of hassle and takes up time I dont exactly have to spare to take it to a tire shop, make an appointment and wait to get my car back on the road JUST to find out the weight of my wheel. I've been hearing alot of 24lb and 25lb, so thats accurate enough for me. I just wanted to make sure that the wheels im ordering (18"x7.5" Axis Reverbs) weren't heavier than my stockers. The Reverbs weigh in at 19lbs each b/c they have hollow spokes, and is super impressive consdering the wheels are .5" wider and an inch taller in diamater. Should be sweeeet.
