Hey I am looking wheels for drag racing and steelies are the cheapest option but are they lighter than 15inch factory rims

 

. But...

My 15" honeycombs weight 2 lbs more than my light weight 17's w/ tire.

39.5 w/ yoko tires (215/60-15)

 

I believe 17lbs each. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

 

ok thats great but do you know how much steelies weight and are they heavier than the factory 15inch rim

I have 18x8.5's now and they are heavy I want some mazda wheels but the junkyards all want like 80-100bucks for 2 and steelies are like 25bucks for 2 but if they weight the same or more than the factory rims I will not get them

 

What steelies ar you referring to. Take a bathroom scale with you when you go shoping

The difference in them is negligible IMO.

the weight of factory 15x6 steel wheels are not in this thread already checked

I did not want to drive down to the junkyard just to weight the wheels if some-1 on the org already knew, like I said if they are about the same weight than it will not be worth it but if the are a few lbs lighter I will get them

 

15 inch 4th gen sawblades are 19.7 LBS i would bet the 15 inch steelies are lighter

 

Thanks guys, Guess I will take a 100.00 bucks with me and a scale and if the steelies are not 15lbs or lighter I'll just get the mazda wheels

 

The Mazda wheels are you best choice by far.

 

I have some 15in steelies if youre looking for some, $80shipped no tires.

 

The I30T BBS wheels are not bad either. 15 x 6.5 and they weigh in at 13.5 pounds. You also can bolt them right to a 4th gen, no modifications are needed. I have a set of 4 of them if you are interested.

 

no thanks they go for $15 each at the junkyard with tires

 

how much?

I went to the junkyard and steelies are like 17lbs, they also had a pair of mazda rims but they were the 16inch rims and he want too much

I weight them and the 16inch rim and tire combo were only a total of 4lbs lighter than the stock not worth 80bucks

 

What good are junkyard tires going to do though?

 

they are not too bad. But not too good either. i took a set of 4 steelies but i took them off the car myself for 40$. They are still on the car today. Not my max tho.

 

I do not car about the tires, I am going to get some 225/60/15's for the track

What kind of tires are mounted to the steelies

 

I didn't think so, you just mentioned it like it was a bonus that they came with them.

Getting your hands on two Millenia wheels will be the best bet.

 

My 3rd gen GXE wheels, are 34 lbs with 205/65/15
My dads 96 SE saw blades are 40 lbs with 205/65/15
My 98 SE 5 spokes are 42 lbs with 225/50/16
My 18x8 Enkei's are 47 lbs with 235/40/18
My full size spare from a 95 GXE is around 39-42 lbs with 205/65/15 (Im not 100% on this one)

 

17 lbs sounds about right, i checked some JY wheels and thats what I got.

 

I'll just get some steelies for 15bucks each sell and either sell or trade the tires for the tires I want

unless something else comes along cheap
