Hey I was curious if anybody knew how much the stock rim weighed because I when I upgrade I want something lighter and that looks better. Thanks

I was talking to Raamaudio about rims and he says the stockers are around 19lbs...which is pretty good.

Thanks finally someone answers me! I've been trying to find this out for a long time. wow 19lb is lightweight so not much to upgrade from here unless I go with 16s which I wont. Thanks man

i forget, 21 or 22lbs, you should've searched first.

i thought it was 19bs and the tires lik about 20 lbs? watver im pulling numbers outta my arse

info can be found in the thread and butter

When I had a set of stock wheels and tires shipped to me the weight for 2 wheels with tires was 82lbs. The tires had 15k miles of rubber off of them so I duno what that weight is. So thats 41lbs per wheel and tire, I think. But I will weigh them when I get the new tires mounted up.

so does anyone have an answer to this... andI doubt each rim weighs 41 pounds...
Id personally like to know the weight without tires...

he said rim and tire.

Even with both, I still doubt each one weighs 41 lbs... theyre aluminum first off, and how much do these low profiles weigh... def. not in the 20lb range

23lbs... :D

pretty light for it being stock.

This should prove it. I took pics of my stock and my 18's to see the difference.

So yeah tire and wheel about 41 lbs

oh and this is with 100% tread I only had maybe 400 miles on the car when I installed them

Stock wheels are 17x7", 5x100 PCD, +45mm offset and 22 lbs.

The Potenzas on the first tCs are 215/45R17 and weigh 23lbs.

Total combined weight is 45lbs.

not to dispute it, but if you look at my postabove, I have them sitting on a scale. They are about 41 lbs

No two scales are the same. Was your scale properly calibrated before you took your measurement? What's the percentage of error on it? And I'm guessing it's a bathroom scale, which is designed for measuring body weight. I didn't weigh them myself, I'm going off what the respective manufacturers have said they weigh.

:yawn: :eyebrow: Oh boy here we go again. Even with soild truth sitting on the computer screen. People still have to dispute it. I guess it's the scionlife way :tap: :lalala:

Man, I forgot to call in the nuclear physisit to properly calibrate my bathroom scale. Plus it was kinda windy in my bath room so it may have been exerting a force on the tire causing it to way more.

Plus the dealer might have used a special air to make the tire lighter.

Man I probably wont weigh myself anymore, i dont want to be fooled about what my true weight is on my non precise bathroom scale.

THIS IS WHY I SOMETIMES CONSIDER NEVER POSTING ON THIS WEBSITE. No mateer what anyone says or what they post, someone will say its wrong or off, or not true.

ITS A SCALE. IT TELLS WEIGHT. ITS A PICTURE. WHAT MORE DO YOU PEOPLE WANT.

Yes i used caps, and thats because i am yelling.

ohh and the manufaturers info is always 100 percent correct. I forgot about that. No one is ever off on weight, HP or anything.

So if I weigh them on my digital bathroom scale and post pictures of the combo being 45lbs how would you feel?

Sorry that I trust a manufacturing scale more than your $20 scale from walmart.

alright man. You are correct, they weigh 45 lbs.

I am not going to argue about this. That would just make this thread like every other thread on this site. As a matter of fact I think I am about done with scion life. The last few days have killed my desire to post on here.

No one can ever be right with out some one else complaing about it. So if you want to argue the acuracy of a scale and a photograph have at it. But until you have personally weighed a rim or proven someones posting wrong lay off.

Why do you even bother bro............It's just not worth it :yawn:

Someone asked the weight of the wheels, you posted your measured weight and I posted the weight as specified by the manufacturer of the wheels. You started arguing that your weight must be correct simply because you have a picture of it on a bathroom scale, to which I stated that no two scales are the same and simply asked if you had calibrated your scale prior to weighing the wheels. For all we know your scale could sit at -5lbs at rest (not uncommon with analog scales by the way). If other board members want to accept your weight, far be it for me to stop them, but this board is about sharing information which is all I was trying to do.

Sigh...by the way, the rim is only the outer portion of a wheel. We're talking about wheel weight here, not rim weight.

Actually samplespirit is correct, bathroom scales tend to weigh less than normal to make people seem lighter than they are. If you ever weigh yourself then go striaght to the doctor and weigh on theirs, I promise you will be heavier at the doc. It's all about margin of error. On our basic home scales they have a horrible margin of error. A wheel manufacturer cannot have much margin of error at all. If this is the actual manu data, it is correct. Do not feel as if you can prove millions of dollars wrong with a simple $20 home scale. Thats just silly. If you wanna post information as fact you need to be able to back it up. Poor testing will prove nothing.

Why do you even bother bro............It's just not worth it :yawn:

Well some people do care that misinformation isnt spread wildly. If you wanna make your research/opinion public then expect resistance. This is the way of the world, not forums. Dont think you can simply expect the world to take you as proof when you have no known credentials. Fact is from proven data in multiple testing in multiple control groups. Not one simple test.

And do I really give a crap..................................HELLS NO :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: You're barking up the wrong tree bro :yawn: .

Tis why you even bothered posting eh? Glad you had better things to do ;)

I weighed mine on a digital bathroom scale so it has to be more accurate than analog. Pic is coming as soon as I find my smart card adapter. Digital scale says 46.4 lbs tire & wheel. And I put a 5lb weight on it and it said 4.9 lbs so actual tire + wheel weight would be 46.5 lbs. kthxbye

P.S. My vent fan was on and the window open so whatever difference that would have made.... .2 mph suction from the fan, maybe another .5-.8 mpg draft coming in the window, so I'm not sure what that would mean...




P.P.S. I don't have stock rims or a digital scale. I just like to add to the chaos :P

You guys are too funny =)

P.P.P.S this thread is 3 1/2 years old

and it came back to you . hahah

lmao I found this thread in a search and was just curious so I clicked. I never looked @ the date hahaha :rofl: :rofl:

i thought the tire/wheel combo are 43lbs?

Edit: wOOt

Getting new rims. Tires are mounted before shipping. Shipping weight of 1 package is 41.7 lbs. So even if the lugs for each rim are in each box, or the box itself weighs a few ounces, I'm under stock weight at least by a bit.

"w00t!" for me also
