97-99 se stock rim weight
Yeah I know this is prob for the wheels and tires forum but I thought i'd ask while i am here.
Are the 2k3 17's alot heavier than my stock 97 se wheels? |
about 19.6lbs. for se wheels.
|
2k3 SE wheels are about 6 lb's heavier.
|
I weighed mine at 21lbs with tires a month ago.

you don't lose hp your just carrying more weight which means you make your car slower

Bingo!........ Yatzee!..... 19.6 is correct, sir! with 6 extra lbs for each wheel, that is like having 240 extra lbs of passenger in your vehicle with you. Do you know how much a 240lb guy weighs down your car? A lot. My brother weighs that much, and it feels like you cannot even pull hard. :king: |
Why 240 extra i would think that 6 pound extra for each wheel is 24 pounds or am i missing something

I was wayyyyyy off on that one! New weight is now 40lbs with tires, but don't take my word for it, we know how the first time went.... |
I'd guess the tires alone weigh more than 21 pounds each....
|
So with a bone stock se (currently) am I looking at a big preformace decrease
|
if each wheel weighs 6 lbs more its 6*4=24 then *7=168lbs more. That will make you .16 slower in quarter mile.
|
why ru multiplying by 7?
|
Thats the formula for transfering rotational weights into normal weight.
|
I think rotational mass only affects acceleration and deceleration, so when you're crusing at a constant speed on the highway it's not going to change your gas mileage.
|
Agreed, because of momentum, but spinning those suckers up sucks and that's why its going to hurt his drag/racing times.
