Humm, I'm not living in the ghetto, but I think the "blackies" mean "black steel wheels".

My black steel 15 inch wheels weigh 15 lbs each, as measured on my el-cheapo Wal-Mart bathroom scale. Hope this helps. -Mike

thankx

vodkalush · 10-06-2006, 09:23 PM

is that 15lbs for just the wheel or wheel+tire?

SimmZ · 10-06-2006, 09:39 PM

I'm surprised... cause most of 15" wheels will weight a little over 20 lbs each... with tire mounted it reach easily 30+ lbs!

Just the wheel.

vodkalush · 10-06-2006, 10:20 PM

damn.

thanks

Man this is making me rethink changing my wheels at this time. I thoght the difference in weight would be very big, but only 4 lbs less isn't a big improvement. I may just wait now.

Wayside · 10-07-2006, 10:37 AM

Actually, 4 lbs less using the same size wheel is a big improvement.

If you add up all 4 wheels thats 16lbs weight reduction. You can remove more by removing the back seats if you wished. It'll improve the car no doubt, but it won't be to a great extent.

Removing unsprung weight nets greater improvement than removing sprung weight.

That's light if the bathroom scales is accurate. It's about 1lb lighter than the standard 15" alloys.
