Default Stock wheel weight

Anyone know our stock wheel weight, and any ideas and how much above or below we would feel the weight difference?

You won't feel any difference. There may be some measurable performance difference in the 1/4mile or 0-100mph runs.

stock fronts are 24.4 stock rears are 25.8 on the 35th ann. or 2006-2007 base/enth./touring models. if you keep close to OEM sizes (18x8 front 18x9 rear) you can lose near 10 pounds per wheel, and aftermarket summer tires are lighter too. losing 50 pounds of rotating mass is pretty easy. i went with 18x9.5 front 18x10.5 inch rear wheels with 255/275 (wayyyy wider than stock) and still lost 28 pounds.

Cool. So my stocks that are coming off are 27lbs, and the SHIPPING weight of my new wheels are 25lbs, and an inch wider. So, i'm thinking i'm not going to feel any real difference. Thank you all for the replies. And thank you all for not blasting me for asking already posted info.

He should go with the 30lbs 20" rims. They look a lot better than the 27lbs 18" touring rims. 3lbs=performance loss?
