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?

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.
