Can anyone tell me what is the weigth of the stock 18" wheels? i've done a search but can't find it. your input is appreciated.

 

21lbs.

 

Apparently two different companies made the stock wheels, so they can either weight 21 lb or 22.5 lb.

 

How about the weight of the OEM tire?

 

Not sure, but again there are two makes: Bridgestone and Dunlop. So a total of four possible wheel + tire weights.

 

I believe the RE40's weigh 28lbs. Never checked the dunlops but you could check some websites to find out.

 

Thanks guys, i will check the dunlop website to see if i can get some more info there too.

 

^ sounds about right. So if i get lighter wheels for my 8 how would that affect my ride?

 

Which Dunlops do you have? Tirerack.com has weights listed.

 

i believe my tires are dunlops 8090's

 

Just ran a quick search and I think your Dunlops are SP Sport 8090. If so then the 225/45/18 weigh 25lbs.

tirerack says 23-25 lbs

 

thanks

 

np

 

i filled mine with helium... still no hovercraft

 

My stock wheels and Dunlops weighed 44lbs

 

That sounds wrong to me. The wheel would have to be 18lb with 26lb tire.

Did you use a standard bathroom scale?

 

It was stated some OE wheels weigh 21lbs and dunlops weigh 23lbs - 25lbs. Assuming Dan has the best of both worlds then his would weigh 44lbs.

(*&^!@#$* Dan!!!

 

Wrong!

The car comes with Run flats!

Check again.

It weighs more than 44lbs.

 

My 18X9.5 Enkei's with 275 Azenis weighed less than that

 

yeah i noticed that when i bent my rim. The ******** at my dealership, aka Lafayette Motors Co., ordered the wrong mold and i had to wait a whole extra week. Does anybody know what company weighs what? and does the company differ in year of production of the car or shipment of the car?

 

i remember weighing my stock set and it came back around 48lbs iirc.

all i remember for sure was the 275/40/17 with 17x9.5 rpf1(16lb 2~4oz) total 44-45 lbs. then again, i thought it be right for a tire of that size to be rather heavy.

so am i really getting no better than the oem combo in terms of weight?

maybe so, or it could be that i have the "22.5" lb mold wheels like stated. but yeah, you're lucky to be getting that weight. and i measured with rather new tire life...

 

hahaha, that's too funny

 

According to Tire Rack the stock RE40s weigh 27 lbs and the stock Dunlops weigh 25 lbs.

Some people have reported here that there are two different manufacturers of our wheels also: LM= U-Mold or H= Hitachi. Most people seem to say the stock wheels are around 22.5 lbs but tpyror said his wheels weighed in at 18.5 lbs. Hard to believe there's such a difference but, if so, it would be really nice to confirm this.
