I just finished weighing the wheels with tires. My apologies to all. 47 lbs per wheel with tire. Holy..... This really sucks. Now I have to find a good forged set of wheels. (hand) We are all driving around with 200 lbs. worth of wheels on our cars. s***.
DOOD, did you just calL me a ricer? OMG I can't believe you just went there. I have to ask you to post a pic. of your "car". Cmon. really. Throw down bro, lets see it! (flame2)
OK, That tears it!! I'm gonna weigh these things myself today. I'll get everyone the actual weights with and without tires by this afternoon.
Mazdaspeed32007, I'm not pissed off at you at all. Sorry if it looks that way. But look at the numbers here. This is not what one might expect for a...
Nav is available on the sport or GT. You can get a TOMTOM or Garmin for $300 at Target if you want nav. Yeah, It won't be as clean as oem, but for $1700 for the upgrade? I would have to say skip it. I have a pretty stock GT, other than Sirrius and auto dim/compass mirror, and for that $1800, it...
If I had to pick a German wagon over the MS3, I'd have to go with the Audi A3. But I already looked at this and the MS3 won me over even if price was not involved. I could have easily afforded the extra $12 grand, but I really don't care for the dash, seats or the extra weight of the awd. I like...
I say that if you are not defending him, try doing some of these mods to your car and see how it turns out. Go ahead and put black bumper molding on your car. I dare you. No, I double dare you. You have to be drunk and on the pipe if you think anything this goober did to his car is even remotely...
Hey Funkyman-
while you still have those, could you weigh one wheel and tire? there is another thread that some guy is saying the rim without the tire weighs 50 lbs. I might want to buy these for my winter wheels. Gotta find 18" winter tires though.
Thanks Funkyman!
Too bad so many people around the rest of the country don't have a cool dealer like this. I hear that most people can't even get a test ride. That would most definitely piss me off. The service department has even been really helpful explaining that they have no problems with my aftermarket...
Woa, 50 lbs. each? Is this correct? Has anyone weighed the wheel without the tire mounted? I gotta call bs on this. I would believe 25 or even 27 lbs. but 50? I don't think these things weigh much more than 25 with the tire mounted.(jerkit)
I had my dealer install a product called venture tape. It's like the 3M tape, but they gaurantee that it will not stain from bugs and that it will not yellow over time. The company states that the tape will not harm the paint if you remove it properly, and if the paint is wrecked, they will pay...
Sorry to get back to you so slowly.
Morries Mazda/Maserati in Minnetonka. Ask for Josh Smith. This dealer is very, very good. They sell Mazda, Ferrari, Lamborgini, Ducati and whatever kind of dream toy you can think of. Very professional service department. They have a really nice owners...
