What do the popular four lug wheels weigh including:
Fuch, stock steel, Riviera, 8 spoke Empi, etc. I got my Falken Azenis for a/x and all I have right now are stock steels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) The steels are strong I would expect, but how heavy? |

I posted this link before. Has all specs and weights on fuchs, etc.
For steel wheel, I guess someone has to bring one in the bathroom and weigh it. dr http://members.rennlist.org/911pcars/WheelWts.html |

O.K. Here is the answer to my question
The Riviera with tire weighed in at 36#, while the stock steel ( rust included ) with tire came in at 39#. Is 3#'s per wheel or 12#'s overall worth yelling about? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) |

well that weight is rotating and unsprung, which is not the kind of weight we like.
actually it has a big impact on handling, braking etc. If it was just 12 lbs of dead weight in the car, wouldn't matter but spinning up that extra weight can be a drag. dr |

Anyone know what ATS cookie cutters weigh? (that's what I'm going to use for my 5 lug conversion)

Not another one! Group: Benefactors Posts: 4,526 Joined: 1-March 04 From: San Mateo, CA Member No.: 1,743 |
Were they the same tires (make, model, and size)? There's a pretty wide variation in tire weights between sizes, and even between makes in the same size. Certainly it can be more than 3lbs, so the steels may weigh the same, or even less, than the Rivs. They may also be a good bit more than 3lbs heavier. And for rotating mass, tires are even more important than wheels, as the mass is concentrated much farther from the axle.

Good point. Tires on Riv's are Yokohama YK420 195/50/15
Tires on steels are Nitto 185/70/15 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
