Hi GUys
I just weight the GT-U without tires the weight so impress me a lot. The front 18*7.5 = 10 pound Rear 18*8.0 = 10.2 Pound sooooooo light.

 

Hi!
are you sure it's not 10 and 10.2 kilos? cause 10 pounds for a wheel is LIGHT, and an 18" wheel, almost impossible to find, but if it is 10 pounds, that's an amazing wheel.

 

how much do stock wheels weigh

 

Almost 18/19 lbs, front/rear.

 

10 lbs for 18" Volks? From evos2000 post he mentions that these are 19-20 lbs each.

 

I know they arent that light.....I didnt weigh them buy I did compare both side by side and the GT-U's with tires are pretty much close to the weight of the stock wheels and tires.

 

Nice rims! What offsets? What finish? (they've got so many different names for their finishes)

I thought stock rims weighed 16-17 pounds. Was I wrong?

 

That sounds unreasonably light. I thought 12.5 lbs was the lightest set of sturdy rims for our cars (and that's in stock size). I know 10 lbs is the weight for similar-size racing aluminum rims (that I would NEVER put on a daily driver).

 

The latest issue of Turbo has a number of lightweight rims compared. I did not see the GTU, but the xx37K looks very simiar.
To give you an idea of the weight ranges:

VOLK
CE28N 17 x 7.5" = 13.6 lbs.
CE28N 18 x 7.5" = 16 lbs.

SE37K 17 x 7.5" =14.2 lbs.
SE37K 18 x 8.5" =16.2 lbs.

LE 37K 17 x 7.5" =14.8 lbs
LE 37K 18 x 7.5" =15.6 lbs

(what's the difference between the SE & LE? They look the same except for the finish except they aren't the same weight)

TE37 17 x 7.5" = 15.6 lbs
TE37 18 x 7.5" = 17.2 lbs

Gram Light 57C 17 X 7.5" = 15.8 lbs.

VELOX PROGEAR
PG-REV8 17 x 7"= 12.4 lbs.
PG-REV5 17" x 7" = 12.6 lbs.
PG-REV10 17" x 7" = 12 lbs
PG=REV7 17" x 7" = 12.4 lbs. (divided spokes - nice touch on a 7 spoke wheel)
VX-6R 17 x 7" = 14.4 lbs.


RH EVOLUTION CP8R 17 x 7" = 12.4 lbs

 

Here is what can solve all the issue
