Weighed 5zigen SMB's,Volk Le37's and CE28N
 
The results were suprizing.

CE28N'S 19X9 W/225/40/19 Bridgestone S03's 46lbs
LE37'S 19X10.5 275/35/19 Bridgeston S03's 54lbs
5zigens 19x9.5 275/35/19 Michelin PS2's 49lbs

I knew the 5zigens were light but didn't know they were that light.. Cool thing is everyone thinks their heavy hahahahha.

barthelb Jun 30, 2005 11:18 AM

Could be the tires that are making the weights so different. you need to measure the wheels alone, or with match brand and size of tire. Some tires are significantly heavier than others.

barthelb Jun 30, 2005 12:50 PM

Yeah, could be that the PS2's are lighter than S03's. Thats definitely a possibility.

jjellyneck Jun 30, 2005 01:15 PM

Yes, the Michelin is roughly 2-3 pounds lighter in that size range. Although the 275 width is usually heavier than an equivalent 240 size in the same tire. It's kind of tough to make a straight comparison, but you can go to the tire weight charts and figure the wheels weights from there.

hndumafia Jun 30, 2005 02:02 PM

plus the difference in width of the wheel is going to make the comparison a little off also.

barthelb Jun 30, 2005 02:49 PM

Yeah I wish i had all the same Width tires to compare but it gives everyone an idea of what they are..

jjellyneck Jul 1, 2005 10:14 AM

This helps, though! I can probably get to within a pound by figuring out the tire weights from Tire Rack and adding 1/2-1 pound for 1/2" of rim width.

Plus, those are SMB, which I believe are chrome plated. My 19" Hypers are just regular silver finish. I'm sure that saves a couple pounds.

not all tires weight the same, especially different sizes.

It's still a good indication

anyway, here is my contribution :)

BBS RGR 18x9.5 with 265/40-18 BFG KDW - 44.5 lbs

Wow. That's almost as light as my Harley wheel/tire.

barthelb Jul 5, 2005 10:52 AM

Thats what everyone thinks but they are not. I was told that it is that new spray paint stuff that you can spray on anything to make it look chrome with out the weight. I heard that 5zigen applys it with a lazer and makes the chrome look black. Again, this is what I heard, so don't know how much of that is true. But they aren't plated I know that, theyd weigh much more.
