Default Weight various of Volk Wheels?

Hi,

I'm trying to find out the weights of the various Volk Wheels models. I'm primarily interested in 18" size, but would also be interested in 19" weights as well (out of curiosity).

I've got my wheel choice narrowed down between Nismo LMGT4's, Volk TE37, or Gram Lights.

The Nismo's are only 18 lbs each, which is pretty light!

Also, is there any info out there of the weights of various tires as well?

Any input would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Default weight Volk

The ones i checked were all 26 to 30lbs ..too heavy! Overpriced...Go with something under 20lbs like the Nismos, OZ, or BBS
They shure look good though,,SF challenge are tough lookin

the main differance lies in 2-piece or 1-piece.

the 1-piece forged monoblocs are significantly lighter than the 2-piece gt-series such as the gt-c, gt-7, gt-u, etc..

I have 18x8.5(FR) LE28N's with Goodyear GS-D3's - 245/40 combo weighed ~43 lbs. 18x9.5(R) with 275/40 weighed ~46 lbs. I'm not sure how much the rim itself weighed but the tires were a lot heavier. Hope this helps.

yeah, I could have told you Toyo's were the lightest tires out there... TE-37's w/ Toyo's in 18's will shave quite a few unsprung pounds as well as greatly improve the handling of the car... I vote for Mercury Silver TE-37's for your silverstone....

T1S = awesome street tires. I just wish they made larger sizes in 19s. Hopefully the T1S replacement coming this fall will have 285/30 or 295/30.

Good thread -- not many realize the importance of tire weight (more important than wheel weight)
