A question about wheel weight...

[A-Dingo-Ate-My-Baby]

guess ?

they are the same or slightly heavier.


standard mom+pop sedan OEM alloys are usually the chunkiest and strongest of all alloy wheels...hence a tad heavy.

for less dollars (100 each) you can get a lighter aftermarket 15 inch alloy somewhere

Thank you very much.

Thank you also, very much. Problem is, I haven't seen one yet on YW that I like. Trust me, I went through the "wheels on your car" thread. None of them appeal to me, unfortunately.

I just like this set because they aren't overly "blingly", giant heavy wheels that will hurt my MPG for looks.

For me, polished aluminum > chrome-plated anything any day.

Again, thank you both. I think the trade-off is worth the slightly higher weight. Plus, the price is sweet enough for me to justify.
