Wheel weight??

Lampoon · 03-05-2008, 08:37 AM

ok...bought 2 of the deep dish black bullitts from American Muscle- 18X10...

UPS says they are 30.30lbs each.

Im adding weights to the car....!

Anyone know how much weight the S197 GT Aluminum wheels are?

I wonder what the diff is.

Im sure the box is a few pounds so it cant be that bad.....I hope.

set one on a bathroom scale if you have one and see what it comes to,will at least give you an idea.or weigh yourself and get a #,then hold a wheel and weigh yourself again and subtract the 2,may not be accurate,but close.

do the american muscle rims use the same center cap as the stock ones

18X10 is a BIG wheel... it'll be pretty heavy, not sure by how much. however, i'm sure the stock wheel isn't light either.

From what I've read the stock rims weigh between 24 and 26lbs. My 20x9 razors weighed in at about 28lbs. So those are probably in that range somewhere.

Ok...thanks! Will have them Monday. WOOT

thatdavidkid · 03-06-2008, 07:12 AM

yea, get on the scale, then pick it up and see what the difference is... post up when you know, i dont think it'll be as much as those 20's he spoke of

Man these things are huge!!
Dropped the lugs and tribar on it....

NECIO · 03-11-2008, 07:48 PM

That looks awesome man. Did you weigh them yet?

Lampoon · 03-12-2008, 08:15 AM

No....I dont have the others off and sans the rubber so I cant compare yet.
UPS damaged the other wheel so they are sending a replacement.

I will weigh it though and report back.
