just wondering does anybody know how much the stock 16" wheels weigh on the 08 xb???

 

At first I thought that maybe the wheels were like 15-20 lbs, but then I got to thinking and I might have had that confused with how much shipping for them would be. . So I started looking it up...

Took a while, but I found a few numbers. (Wheel and tire)
Original steelies are said to be about 37 lbs.
Alloys are said to be about 23 lbs.

These numbers can be wrong, but those are the most common numbers I have found. I'll keep looking for you and if I find anything, I'll post it up.

 

The numbers are wrong. The steelies are about 22 lbs alone, or ~44 lbs with tire.

There is a thread about this already...in this sub forum...

 

are the steelies u guys are talking about the the stockers with the bubcaps? im curious if i got me an 18 inch rim that weighs 19 lbs, compared to the stock 22lbs, will the car accelerate faster coz of the lighter weight?? or not because of the bigger rim, just wondering if any of u guys might now the answer, thanx

 

Buying a lighter wheel than stock will lessen the rotational mass. Meaning it will take less engine power to move the wheel the same distance. Better MPG's, quicker 1/4 mile times, and faster speeds are the benefits. Forged wheels are something you should look into if you want a lighter wheel.

 

Well not sure if these r forged but I was thinking of the gram lights 57 optimize in 18's, those weigh 19"lbs, does the stock rims really weight 22 lbs? So the size of the rims r 18's n weighs less than stock, it won't take that much energy to spin those correct? Thanx guys

 

If you want more power and better mpg's go with a lightweight wheel. The size doesn't matter. For example, you can buy a 19 inch lightweight wheel that weighs less than the stock 16 inch steel (heavy) wheel.

 

Sweet bro, thanks for ur response, will save up for some lighter rims, can someone confirm the weight of the stock steelies and also the stock 16 inch alloy rim they also sell, thanx

 

i weighed my stock steelies with my 205-55-16 bridgestone el400 tire and it weighs 40lbs together. i got me 18s recently and wheel/tire combo is 50 lbs, im trying to sell my rims, i wanna get something lighter. i got 18 inch five axis s6f's 3 weeks old if anyone is interested.

 

I just cleaned my 16" Scion alloys so I can sell 'em and I weighed them while in the process. With the center cap on they are 19lb each. That's a little more than I thought. I have no idea how acccurate my bathroom scale is but I got the same results from each wheel, subtracting my weight from the wheel + myself. On this same scale, my 17" Rims are 20lb each. I never weighed the steelies.

does anybody know who makes some light 19's that arent too expensive?

 

light and 19"s and not too expensive = cheap quality
if you want big and light you gota save for the good stuff
like some SSRs
