Does anyone know the weight of the stock rims for our TL's (not type S)? I'm looking at getting some Moda 19" rims, but one thing that Moda is notorious for, is super heavy wheels. These ones are 32.5 lbs ... is that alot relative to our stock rims? Will I be able to tell anything different between the two rims from a performance stand point?

32.5 is heavy as shit for a rim. you'll notice the extra weight the first second you push the gas pedal. generally, if the rims are 27 pounds or less you probably wouldn't notice the weight difference compared to stock. at around 28 pounds or more you'll feel the weight difference.

i don't know the weight of the stocks but i think they are around the 25 or 26 pound mark.

When I was wheel shopping, I read somewhere the stock wheels were 27 pounds.

Jesus fucking christ....32.5 pounds for 19 inch wheel?! Are they cast from iron?

My rays nismo wheels are 20 pound 19's, and my car's performance was noticeably better coming from 24 pound 18's.

If you put 32 pound rims on your car, you will notice it. You will also notice the extra wear on your brakes, end links, etc...
