Anyone know the stock wheel weights of 18x8's, 19x9's and 20x9's? I'm looking for a lightweight set of wheels for drag, autocross and general street use, so not looking go with 17's and DR's.

The stock wheels are the split 5 spoke 18x8's with 235/50R18's. They are decent looking probably the lightest of the factory wheels being the smallest (going to stuff a set of 255/45R18 continental DWS tires for winter on them once the eagle F1's are worn out and run something lower profile for summer): http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...all=Blackwall&partnum=545YR8DWS06XL&tab=Sizes

I want to keep the roll out between 27" and 27.3" which is the stock range for 18" and 19" wheels.

These were listed at 23 lbs per wheel on AM, but again can't seem to find info on how heavy the stock wheels are (in any size). Un-sprung mass makes a world of difference in handling and acceleration, so looks matter, but not for the cost of performance, at least not for me:

Also haven't found many with wheel weight listed on AM.

Per the what things weigh thread

OEM Base 18" GT Wheel w/ Tire: 54.5lbs
OEM PP Model 19" GT Wheel w/ Tire: F-60.6lbs / R-64.3lbs
OEM Dark Stainless Painted Aluminum 19" x 8.5" Wheel w/ Tire: 57.6 lbs
OEM Foundry Wheel w/ Stock Tire: 55.2lbs
OEM Foundry 20" Wheel w/ Tire: 64lbs
OEM Premium20x9 Foundry Wheel: 35.7 lbs
OEM GT PP Front 9" Wheel: 32.5lbs
OEM GT PP Rear 9.5" Wheel: 32.4lbs
Tirerack lists the OEM 235/50/18 tire at 30 lbs, so 18x8 wheel should be ~24.5 lb.

Tire Rack has a lot of wheels and you can sort by weight. I like the stock ones, hoping to pick up an extra set one for summer tires one for all season. Park it during the snow.

The factory wheels wont be the best bet for you then.

I recommend checking out the Forgestar wheel line and or MRR wheel line for a lightweight 19" wheel and or 18" wheel if you want. Reason is they are stronger and lighter so it fits the bill.

let me know if I can help you out.
