How light are they? Really?

Since everyone was curious to see how much they really weigh in at I tossed my wheels onto a scale for ***** and giggles. Man these things are super light without the tires on!

i did the same with mine when i had the old 4by114 pattern, mine were 15"s though, on a digital scale , came to 8.75lbs with valve stem and a small balancing weight. Amazing quality thats all i have to say!

I just picked up a set of 16 x 7 5H114.3 SW388's, and they are even light with the tires on! especially compared to my Stock ITR Rims.

What tires are you going to equip them with next?

Looking Good, you should keep those wheels, they look dope on your car.

Sorry Noelle, theyre stuffed in a box ready to leave for their new home in Texas.

And lol at the GT3 comment, Im getting something new for next season. Gotta keep up with my tradition you know.

5 Sets of wheels in less than 2 years of owning this car. But I think these wheels will be the ones I keep for a while. Nothing beat's Jeff though...
