I've noticed that this is often brought up, and the consensus is that OEM 5-spoke rims are heavy pigs. I've heard them weighing anywhere between 25 to 32lbs, but no one could say for sure.

When my Hotchkis were being installed, I weighed my wheels while they were off -- the front wheel came out to 47lbs with tire (Michelin PS1), and the rear came out to 50lbs with tire. The front Michelin PS1 weighs 24lbs (according to TireRack/Michelin, and a previous weighing of mine) - which means the rim weighs 23lbs. The rear tire weighs 26lbs, which means the front rim weighs 24lbs.

So there you have it:

23lbs for front rim
24lbs for rear rim.

 

That's pretty much in line with the other OEM wheels.

 

Yes indeed. Imo, at those weights, the rims aren't very heavy at all, actually.

 

The published weights are

Front: 24.4 lbs
Rear: 25.8 lbs
