Does anyone know the weight of OEM 17" whees / rims?

 

I know this is an old thread but rather than start a new one I would like to bring this one back to the top...

bump, I would like to know the answer to this too. Anyone got an OE wheel without the tire they would like to weigh for us??

 

using the magic search button I managed to find one person who says the OE wheel weighs 24lbs. Can anyone confirm or deny this??

 

It's heavier than that me thinks proly 30 + tires

 

I polled several ebay sellers... so far I have received these answers:

1. 26
2. Approx. 25
3. 26
4. We don't have that spec, but it is 28~30 packaged and ready to ship.

I will post answers as I get them...

 

Also, in case anyone else reading this wants to know:

I asked for the weight of 19x8 +32 RJ Legend and this was his response:

average weight of 19 inch legend regardless of offest is 25.5 lbs.

 

^ That's crazy heavy if you think about it if the VOLK TE37 in 19x9.5 weighs about 20 lbs.

 

True but not exactly... You are kinda comparing apples with oranges.

The TE37 is a forged monoblock wheel and it costs ~$950 per wheel
seeHERE

The RJ Legend is a low pressure cast wheel that costs ~$350 per wheel

When you are talking a 5lb/$600 dollar difference... it doesn't really seem like a lot anymore... at least it doesn't to me.

When compared to other cast 19" wheels the RJ Legend is pretty lightweight.

 

Fair viewpoint I wont argue with you there

Isn't the Enkie RPF1 cast/1 piece as well? and I know those are in the low 20's as well

 

You are correct! and again... sort of... haha

The RPF1 weighs in at an astounding ~19.5 lbs for a 19x8 cast wheel
See HERE

however it isn't completely cast. enkei uses a new technology that they developed that aparently is combination between forging and casting. They cast the wheel from aluminum and then "rim-roll" or forge the inside portion...
See HERE for more info on that.

They do however come to a slightly higher price than the RJ's because of the partial forging technique.

Also you have to weigh in the style difference too... the RJ is a much more refined "luxury" looking wheel than the RPF1 which is a "race" looking wheel. That does not mean bad or good... just different. By far for the track the RPF1 is the better wheel, but for the street it is a matter of preference... just my

 

Haha yeaa I feel you, I've seen the RPF1 in full polish actually and it almost looks like a "luxury" wheel.


Glaaaaad no1 has a clear answer for the OP's answer as of now yet lol

 

More answers to the OE 17" wheel question:

5. 22 I think
6. 27 approximately
7. 24
8. It is only the rim so 25
9. 24 from my own Acurazine search

If we call number 4 a 29, based on the 9 answers I have received from my ebay seller poll the average is 25.3 lbs and if I throw out numbers 4 and 5 as outliers the average is still 25.3 lbs when rounded.

Until someone can weigh several for us without the tires I think that is a pretty decent guestimated average...

 

Doesn't somebody have a stock wheel they can weigh? Based on the weight of my si wheels 24lbs, I'm gonna say that these wheels are 25 lbs ore more. They are .5 wider than the si wheels.
