hey guys tried searching on here but no luck..just wondering if anyone knows the weight of the 18'' a-spec wheels?

Chas2

I have never seen a weight for the 18" A-Specs. There is circumstantial evidence that they are 24-25 based on a Curry Acura email that says the MDX wheels are 4-5 lbs heavier, and another post from Touge that says an ebay dealer said the MDX wheels were 29 lbs.

There is another post where RonJon says the stock wheel weighs 27lbs

Has anyone called a dealer?

fredren

i do know the stock 17'' are about 24.5lbs and factory michelin tires are 26lbs , so i am trying to figure out the difference in the 18'' a-specs versus the 19'' rims i ordered along with tires.

Chas2

How did you figure out the weight of the stock 17s? Did you weigh the combo and look up the tire weight?

Can anyone weigh their A-Spec, look up the tire weight and subtract so we can get a weight on A-Spec 18's.

I am keeping a spreadsheet of different wheels, weights, etc that have been fitted to the RL.

Thanks

Thanks.

I wrote that, based on research, personal experience and posts from here. As you can see I have not yet footnoted everything.

I was hoping to make it more accurate as time goes on. That is why all the weights are estimated.

I said "From Wikipedia" in my post.

i did a little research and i also believe Sam aka touge had it posted on here when he was shopping for wheels. the 19's i ordered are sought of on the heavy side of 27lbs and im going with 245/40/19 in either yokohama s.drive or michelin ps2 which both weigh 26lbs
