I just got my Moda R-6's today an they weight 54 pounds each with the tire and 38 PSI. I couldnt believe that they weighed so much, tomorrow when I put them on Im gonna weight the factory 16" and see how they compare.

That's pretty damn heavy. My Mustang GT rims (17x8) and heavy Firestone SZ50s(235-45) only weigh about 42-44lbs total mounted. It's less now w/ the Kuhmo 235-45.

Most 17s and larger weigh more than 25lbs. Anything 20lbs or less is good.

Well the rim I was talking about (Moda R6) weighs 25 pounds so that means that the tire weighs around 28 pounds, unless the air weighs alot (Im not sure if it does or not)

interesting..

My 16" ROH rims which are supposed to be here sat or sun weigh 15.5 each, tire weighs 25 lbs. I think the stock 4th gen SE rim weighs about 18-19 lbs. Since the combo weighs somewhere around 42-43 lbs.

A light 17" is something 21 lbs or less I guess...

You're really not serious, right? 29lbs tops with tires? I don't think so. You do realize that tires weigh anywhere from 24-29lbs in the 14"-17" sizes. I'm pretty sure your GT8s weigh close to 19-23lbs plus whatever tire you've got (225/45-235/45) which weighs ~27lbs, so at best you're looking at 46lb combo.

wheels/tires

my Team Dynamics Monza's in 17x7 on my civic weighed 20 lbs a piece, with tires inflated was 47lbs, with very little pressure it was 44lbs. so the compressed air does weigh a bit. tires are heavier than wheels unless you have some really heavy chromies....

I think around 40 lbs for the tires and wheels

I weighed my 17 X 7 nippon racing wheels with the Toyo Proxes FZ4 205/40/17 and they were 40 on the dot.
Then I weighed my 17 X 8 GS400 wheels with the 235/45/17 tires and they weigh 43 lbs.
