Wheel weight
I got bored this evening so I decided to break out the floor jack and do a quick wheel comparo. I did take a crappy picture with my iphone but I am reluctant to share b/c my car was dirty and I don't have suspension on yet...I can tell you that it was even better looking than I expected (it was hot).
Funny thing- I knew my 19" Volk RE30s /tires would be lighter than my stock 18" wheels and tires but I had no idea!
I forgot to write down the stock rear tire/wheel weight but my memory says 60lbs.
1. 225s on Factory 18 wheels (front)= 56.7lbs
2. 275s on Volk 19*10 (rear)= 46.8lbs (13.2lbs less per rear corner!!!!)
3. 245s on Vok 19*9 (front)=42lbs (14.7lbs less per front coner!!!)
That adds up to be one hell of weight savings...even rotational mass savings.
I cannot wait for spring until I can permanantly mount these!
