Anyone know how much stock rim/tires weight??

As the subject states.....
I'm asking cuz I'm thinking of investing my money into a set of light 16" with tires....

Also, lets say I get a rim that is 13.5 lbs each... would that be a big difference to our stock rims?? Performance wise would I feel faster accelaration and etc???


I have a 97 stock 6 spokes rims by the way

Thanx for the help!!

Light wheels will make a difference. Whether you notice it or not, I don't know. Small, light weight wheels do 2 major things. Less rotational weight around the outside of the wheels and less rotational weight overall. The stock rims and tires probably weight ~40 lbs.

I replaced my stock 21 pound rims with 11 pound Volks. Noticed slightly better acceleration, but big improvement on braking.

As I recall, my stock wheels and tires weighed about 26-27 lbs each.
