OEM fronts are 17.6 lbs and the rears are 20.5 lbs.

I think the Volks are ~23 lbs.

Welcome welcome

AP2 wheels weigh that much? 16" AP1s don't weigh 20.5lbs in the rear

don't worry about the volks, we know those things are above 20lbs. all the GT series wheels weigh alot. The only ones that are light are the CE28Ns and TE37s.

Kinda makes sense though, doesn't it? They are an inch larger in diameter and also an inch wider. Considering they are only 1.9 lbs heavier, it's not too bad. However, the Front OEM AP2 is only .1 heavier then the OEM AP1, despite a 1" diameter increase and a .5" width increase.
