How much do these wheels cost?

 

these wheels look nice.. but they are relatively heavy if i remember correctly..

 

Umm yeaa they are DEFINITELY heavy... But then again I do have 18's

I noticed a HUGE difference in the car after putting these on... The car feels MUCH slower... I felt that braking was also different too so I know these are heavy... But then again...keep in mind that I have 18s... 17s may not affect performance as much as mine did...

 

The wheels are around 18lbs (less with out stickers ) so they are not super light weight, but not chrome bling either

I found them to be the best bang for the buck. I already have light weight /super expensive wheels on my "track car". http://www.cyberous.net/turbo.htm

Thanks!

I'm guessing this weight is for the 17" ones right??

 

yes, 17"

 

Thought so... Cuz the 18"s definitely feel heavier than that... Any idea where I could get the weight for those?

 

I did a google search, I finally found it about 3 pages in.

This site says the 17x8.5" weighs 18.75lb each, so I'm assuming 17x7.5" weighs maybe a pound less. Pretty close to the OE 17" AP2 wheel weights. Close enough to never know the difference. 18x8.5" weighs 19.75lb, plus an 18" tire weighs about 2lb heavier than 17" tire of the same width, so technically, you'd be adding about 4lb of additional rotating mass to each corner with 18's.



These look really nice. I like the Hyperblack the best. It looks much different in real pics. Is there any way you can get a more closeup shot of the wheel? I'd like to see the finish closer up. Does it have like a gunmetal shine to it? Elected to keep the stickers off too. Good idea!
