my Motegi Racing wheels are 18x8, so half inch widder than stock heritage wheels and wheigh 22 lbs. so just for the wheels i saved 43.6 lbs. and my Flowmaster 40 series weight is 10 lbs a piece. so total saving of 28 lbs from the factory saddle bags back there lol
both weights were from Amazon. They give product weight for both items. anyone know what the stock intake wheighs and if aftermarket ones are any less? |

Are you sure that's right? How can the tires weigh more than the wheels?

Yes, I can feel the differance after going from my stock 19's to my Nurburgrung 20's. This was a 5 lb. drop in each corner and it feels lighter on acceleration and handling is better. Even a bigger savings if going from a stock 20" or dropping to 18"Nurburgring's. Yes, those are correct weights. The WIKI lists the wheel and tires weights for us.

260.6 lbs. for the SS or RS wheels. All the same. Air PSI won't make a differnace.

Technically, PSI would make a very small difference.

Still trying to figure out the weight for the MRT V1s. Scrming didn't know and Apex Chase told me their shipping weight that
Is listed in their system but its more than MRT V2 which I know is not the case... Sent from my SAMSUNG Galaxy S III using telekinesis.

The 18" TSW and Forgestar F14's are about 18.5 pounds a piece, which is a 14.4 lb weight savings per wheel. So a total of 57.6 pounds of unsprung rotational mass (assuming you go with the same tires) would be worth ~570 lbs of weight loss? That seems unreal, but if that number is correct you'd definitely feel it I would think. |
