My wheels and tires weighs in at 48 lbs each.

The tires are Potenza G 009's in a 235/45 HR17 and according to tirerack they weigh in at 25 lbs.

The tires only had a couple hundred miles on them when I weighed the wheels so I'd bet the wheel weighs 23-24 lbs.

Sorry but there is no way the stock 17" OEM rim and tire combo weighs that much! My 19" rims and a fairly heavy tire weigh in at 53lbs TOTAL. My aftermarket 17's with worn out tires came in at either 50lbs or 51lbs. At one time I thought my OEM's were over 50lbs but I later learned that my aftermarket 17's were heavier (by about a pound) than my OEM's

it was ok... one of the valve stems broke when driving and the rear tire got shreded. Good thing the rims didn't get damaged. I had to pay Acura 264.00 for a new tire and just go one normal black valve stem, they wanted over 100 for the new TPMS valve stem.

^^Sorry to hear that. Shouldn't they had covered under warranty? How old is yours?

Those came off in Oct and they set in my living room until I shipped them to you.

Must've been either some pretty heavy boxes or else some pretty heavy tires. I thought the original poster was seeking the "unsprung" weight on the car which of course would not include the weight of the box it was shipped in. My mistake.
