stock tire and rim weight

[jackal2000]

anyone know what it is for the stock alloy 16's? im trying to figure out if its worth while to switch to "lightweight" rims...

[-Alero-]

it is, just need good tires, but the stock rims are too skinny to fit good tires on.

im looking for good tires for my stock 15's for when i go to the track and try to sell my current rims.

Yea i will bring back this thread, my question is, How much do lightweight rims weigh????? are the stock 16s considered lightweight or is 25lbs too much??lol

[jackal2000]

"lightweight" rims are usually 16-19lbs. its really hard to find a website that lists the rim weight though. pretty much every site i have looked at has that category as N/A

[billytheman1188]

ah ok. I wish i knew how heavy my 18s are. lmao

[jackal2000]

i called the manufactuer of my rims and they said 36lbs. they dont look like they weigh that much though...

[billytheman1188]

36!? lmao, damn

[Gr1m]

i would def get those 13lb rims u were lookin at then

[billytheman1188]

Anybody know of any sites where i can look for lightweight rims??(for the future, cause im broke now:( lol ). or are the stock rims light enough?

stock wheels on my car were 23lbs, my summer wheels now are 17 lbs. I like the difference.

The stock 15s on my Alero weighed barely anything! The 17s are quite a bit heavier.

go to centerline wheels

It is generally accepted that a "lightweight" wheel weighs 1 pound for every inch it measures in diameter.
OEM 16" alloys range anywhere from 17-19lbs., which is pretty light. They are just about an inch too narrow for the size tire that the factory put on.
