thanks

Tim

 

I know you need without tire, but I'll throw in with tire they are 52 lbs..

 

25-26lbs each. I just sold and shipped some not to long ago.



.

 

And if ur asking because you want to get lighter rims, and if u get lighter rims does it make a difference? The answer is yes. I have 19 lb rims and I notice a clear difference off the line.

 

well im thinking of getting 18s for my gen4 but i dont know to either get oem ones or aftermark*** ones i can get Akita 18s for 860 shipped to my door and i guess the wheel weigh 27lbs without tires, i think thats kind of heavy, i would def lose performace with these from an oem 16"

 

If u care about performance, do NOT get heavier rims. Remember, rotating mass has a greater effect than non-rotating mass. So if u reduce ur rims by 40 lbs, that has a much greater effect than if u took 40 lbs out of the trunk by removing your spare tire.

 

I called Nissan not too long ago and got told 30lbs.

 

I thought it was 30 lbs as well, which is heavy.

 

They told you 30lbs? Maybe that was the shipping weight with boxes and all.

You see the chromed wheels in my sig? I sold those and weighed them at UPS before they shipped.

Chrome weight with 18” tires is 54lbs
18” chrome without tire weight is 27.64lbs

 

i would def think chrome would be heavier than hypersilver wheels umm

 

You would be surprised that the chromed OEMs are not that much heavier. Only a pound or two. That's why my initial posts puts the weight of the stock rim at 25-26lbs.

 

Now that wheel weight is being brought up i cant find the thread but im sure everyone has seen that 350Z with those acrylic wheels... now i wonder what they weigh? hmmm

 

does anyone know if the weight for the 18inch 5 spoke chromes differs from the stock SE wheele?

 

I saw another thread wich said the difference was 1-2 lbs more per wheel, it wasn't much at all over the se wheel..
