weight of stock gts 16" rim

[xtccrush]

Im curious as to the weight of our factory rims. Im lookin to get a new set but I want to try to keep the weight of the rim the same.

I've never weighed it myself, but If I recall correctly a OEM 16" GT-S wheel weighs 19lbs.

is this correct?? 19lbs?

[SickCelica696]

yea its 19 +- .5

[sO mAnY mOdS]

cool so 22" 17s shouldnt make a huge difference..especially with smaller tires

Is that with or without a tire? That's key too.

GTS rims alone are 19.5lbs, and with tires weighs 38lbs.

a tire weighs 18lbs?

Yep..surprisingly tires do weigh alot. Check out this chart from Toyo Tires and you'll get the idea:

not just the tire, but also the air pressure too...

I seem to remember the stock wheel and tire weighing around 25lbs.

[gtspaul2zzge]

I thought they were @ 22lbs.

I was talking about wheels and tires (stock). Apparently not too many people drive without tires.

[sO mAnY mOdS]

But tires vary in weight. Generally, it's important to determine wheel weight without tires because not everyone buys the same tires and they don't all weigh the same.
