Wheel Weight?

[eeveyl]

Hi All!

Does anyone know the wheel weight for a stock P5?

Thanks!

Yep, with tire its about 38 Lbs.

is that heavy? <i'm new to the wheel game>

thats versus my new OZ's weighing in at around 22LBS on the heavy side with tires...the wheels weigh 15LBS not sure on the tires..just a guess

The stock 16" wheels on a P5 weigh 16 pounds.

 

[seatown.P5]

so... if the wheel+tire=38 and the wheel=16, how does the tire weigh 22 pounds? is this some of GW's fuzzy math?

They're VERY heavy, as lightweight wheels go.

I replaced my 1/2 worn OEM tires and wheels with wider tires (205/55-15) on '88 RX7 convertible BBS wheels and lost 4 pounds per corner - BIG difference in the way the car rides and handles.

My Miata wheels/tires weigh 102 pounds for the set of 4 - The OEM P5 wheels/tires were 140 pounds for the set of 4 (35 pounds each, but as I said, 1/2 worn) My new setup was 124 pounds brand new - Still not "super light" but a dramatic improvement

yeah, the rims are 15lbs, but the tires are closer to 20. 15lbs at least for the tire.
