Hi all,

Does anyone know the difference in weights between the stock steelies and the factory alloys (EP-10s or EM7s)?

I'm hoping shaving of a few pounds.

I know that my TRD 18" wheels with Falken tires was 44 lbs each, and my stock steelies was 45 lbs

 

My 17" with tires are 4 pounds per wheel heavier than the stock package. My MPG monitored over a number of tanks is about 1mpg less, could actually be the same, not much change though. I drive very conservative though, usually get 34 mpg.

 

you can get weights of wheels and tires at tirerack.com . remember to add both... light wheel+heavy tire=no gain. you can also see what they will look like on your car there too.[/url]

The stock tire/wheel setup weighs less than 45lbs. It's more like 37lbs according to this FAQ:

edit: I realized I had said "weighs more than 45lbs" instead of "weighs less"; didn't make sense with the next sentence.

 

the same thread that pdrizzle ^^^ up there cites has the "stock alloys" at 16.7 lbs.

Other threads have put the steel rim alone's weight at ~17.5 lbs.

 

Well, mabey my scale is off, but my point is they virtually weighed the same...

If this is correct info, the difference in weight between the 15" stock steelies and the 15" factory alloys is about 1 pound. Not too much of a difference...

Thanks, everyone. Really appreciate the help.
