Default Weight of my new Volks (Le28n).

Just for future reference, if anyone wanted to know (I was curious...and bored:P):

19x9.5(F) Toyo T1-S 255/35/19 = 41lbs

19x10.5(R) Toyo T1-S 275/35/19 = 46lbs

5lb difference between the 9.5 and 10.5

The rears are pretty heavy to lift! I wonder how these stack up against the stock 06's. And how about those chromed 20's ? Get rid of them! hahaah

I'm guessing that without tires, the rims alone probably weigh 19lbs (F) and 21lbs(R). Pretty light!

Thats pretty light. Toyo tires are light to begin with.

Very light. You should feel some better acceleration vs. stock due to the lower intertia or torque needed to rotate those wheels/tires. Huge diff vs. chrome 20's.

Wow...

That's one of the reasons I chose this rim over other rims. I was trying to find CE's in this size but couldn't so I settled for the LE's. Still happy though

Default What are Toyo`s made of?

Tissue paper and balsa wood?

Those weight numbers are extremely light. My 03` Track rims are 18 and 18.5 lbs respectively. I`m pretty sure that with stock (narrower) Bridgestones I`m in the 43-45lb range.

Perhaps Bridgestones are made of cement?

Question

How many pounds of air are in the tires?

Yep, they're comprised of rocks much like Flintstone wheels.
