Anyone know the weight of the OEM wheels off hand (non-SRT6) ?

 

yeah, they are very heavy! I think the fronts are about 45 lbs, and the rears are almost 50 something pounds! It sucks power that's for sure.
I think if you take 10 lbs of Rot. weight off it's like adding 1 hp or maybe its the other way around, 1 lbs = 10 hp. I don't feel like doing physics problems now, maybe tomorrow I'll figure out how many watts it saves. either way a good forged wheel can shave 18-20% off your cars' unsprung weight which is great for the suspention and making hp...

 

limited rims:

front rim: 25 lbs.

rear rim: 29 lbs.

(w/ no tires).

 

I'll have to weight my Kumhos I just got in, let you know what numbers I get tomorrow!

 

I'm thinking that 25 and 29 per wheel (front rear) sounds wiser than 45 and 50 ?? I'll go with that for now. thanks.

 

I weighed the tire and rim not just the rim alone.

the rears on the srt6 is like 48 lbs.

29 lbs rim + 15 lbs tire + add 2-3 lbs. of air and = 46-48 lbs sounds about right to me, check my math. lol. I wonder how much the tire pressure sensor weighs?

 

45 lbs ? 50 lbs ? Geeze, I thought you would post answers, not guesses... Andrew is correct...

 

just posting what I recalled Timelord weighed his at but his was SRT6 rim, I forget what I weighed mine at, but I know they are similar weights. but all up weight with rubber is close to 45 lbs. could be a pound or two more.

 

Sorry MAX the original post said wheels... I thought you were saying those weighed 45-50 lbs... My ace wheels are 19.5 lbs... 21 lbs respectively...

 

Here is an interesting point: every pound of rolling weight you take off equalls two pounds of dead weight. Interesting, eh?
