Default Tire weight

Hello, I wasn't able to search and find the weight of the Aluminum Alloy (6-spoke) FR 18”x7.5” RR: 18”x8” on the performance model. Anyone have any information? And, how much lighter are the forged Rays?

The comparable wheel for the track model, the TE-37 weighs around 18 lbs. in the 18x8.5" model.

That is very light for that size. I would guess the regular stock 18's are 22-23 lbs per corner. They said a savings of "four pounds per wheel" on the track wheels, but it has heavier rotors.

A set of Volk CE-28N's is supposed to weigh about a pound lighter than the TE-37's at that size, probably the wheels I'm looking at getting instead of the track model.

SSR Competitions. It's the most inexpensive wheel for its weight, and can be found at www.tirerack.com

I use my SSRs at the track. I get a lot of compliments from the BMW and Porsche guys. Check them out. Be careful about offsets though. I have to use spacers on my Nissan. BTW: They are incredibly lightweight for their size. Lighter even than the Volks I believe.
