[yjack]

19x9 et 30 front 21.2 lbs on oem 255 40 19 P Zero
19.9.5 et 39 rear 20 lbs on oem 275 40 19 P Zero

For some reason the rear wheels are lighter than the front. Checked all 4 wheels and the result are the same for both side.

Update with new pictures.

Awesome!! You just lost 50lbs over the stock PP wheels.

Love the weight; just don't love the color. I also have DIB, so I really appreciate you posting these.

Looks awesome! I think I like the 19" size better than 20", especially because of how tiny the rear brakes look with 20s.

Out of curiosity, why didn't you just get 19x9.5 on the front, too?

Weird that the wider wheels are lighter and a full 1.5 lbs. lighter than they are listed on TSW's website. Something's not right...

I pick 19 more because of the performance/comfort reasons. 20 setup probably will be 3-5 lbs more per wheel. And I think 40 series tire looks the best.

19x9.5 probably will not clear the front brake due to its 39 offset. I don't want to gamble it so I played safe.

Actually on tire rack a lot of the front wheels are lighter than the rear. I think it probably has something to do with the offset? Plus rear has deeper concave than the front, so its not exactly an identical design.

The extra weight on the fronts is from the mounting pad on the rear of the wheels. You can tell this is the reason just by looking at the depth of the lug nuts. The rear appear shallow and protrude from the rear wheel, while the front lug nuts are completely buried in the lug hole.

I was looking at some Vossen wheels but decided against them for the very same reason, rear lug nuts protrude out from the wheel, ruining the look.

20x10's are 22lbs for reference.

Tsw's website says 24.45 for the 20x10?

Correct. Their published weights seem to be off by 1.5lbs or more. Someone posted a scale weight of under 23lbs if I recall on the 20x10's.

Wow. For once a manufacturer makes a mistake in our favor? Sweet!

Those look awesome. The rotational mass weight savings is humongous compared to the stock wheels. Especially the pp wheels. Might just have to pick up a set. Thanks for sharing.
