Weight of stock wheels vs mazda alloys?

[Carlb328]

I'm new here, and one of the things I was thinking of doing with my new (used) mazda 6i is changing the steel wheels to mazda alloys. Does anyone know if there is much of a weight difference between the two?

The stock ones don't look too terrible to me, but if there is a definite weight advantage then I want to do it.

OK, since no one seems to know about the steel wheels, does anyone know how much some mazda 16 inch alloy wheels weigh? Do the mazda rims come in 16 inch or just 17?

16 17 or 18 are you size options. Look at the sticky's in this forum.

THANK YOU! Finally someone answered my question (indirectly)- the 16" stock wheels weigh 21.1 pounds.

Now I need to find out how much 16" Mazda alloys weigh, hopefully they made 16" alloys for the 6 because I don't want minivan wheels or 3 wheels on the car.

Not quite sure on the stock weight, but assume 20lbs as a conservative estimate. The stock MS6 18s are 24 lbs.
