I just had a set of SSR comps put on my car, they are quoted as being around 14 lb. That was light enough for me to overlook the fact that they look kinda like the stock wheel, though better.
17x8.5 under fifteen lbs! Neal has them as do others.

 

Aaron,

I have not weighed just the wheel, but I did weigh the wheel and tire @ 45.3lbs and then the tire was taken off (same day) and weighed the tire @ 24.2lbs.

That leads me to believe that the Stock wheel weighs 21.1 lbs.

I also weighed a Volk CE28-N 17x9x35 when I had them and it weighed 16.0lbs

All Item weights I have so far can be found here:

I should also point out that the following wheels will not easily fit after you get the RRE JIC setup.

17x9x35
17x8.5x30

They will require a good bit of fender flaring, not just rolling. John will also likely kick you in the nuts, but after that be happy to charge you for the extra work required to make them fit.

those are gorgeous!!! def post up some pics when you get them in and straped on!

 

Sorry about my original post. The scale that I used weighed the combo in at 44.5lbs, but it must not have been accurate. I would take these guys word for it on the 20-21lb weight. Sorry for the miss info. My numbers on the combo where not to far out from some other peoples #'s though?????

 

Evo Ate,
Your info isn't necessarily wrong. I have found that there is a lot of weight in the tire tread. The difference in a brand new full tread tire to a tire with a good amount of wear can be 5 lbs or more.

Thanks blurr...My tires are almost brand new. Never been spun or slid, only about 3000 miles.

 

Ah, so maybe that explains it. I just brought home some Gram Lights with Toyo RA1s mounted on them, and weighed them on my bathroom scale against stock. They weighed 3lbs more than stock..

BUT, the stock tire tread is almost gone, and the RA1s are unused.

FWIW, the stock combo weighed 40lbs, and the Gram Lights/Toyos weighed 43lbs, which is within 1lb of what they "should" weigh according to the manufacturers data. So presumably the scale is close to accurate.

 

If you use this method, I'd suggest trying to hold the wheel above your head if you can. I've tried this way before because it makes the most sense - bathroom scales are presumably designed to be accurate in the human weight range, but the ones I've used are very sensitive to off axis weight, which you can get by holding the wheel to your chest. Alternately, you might try standing on the wheel. But my digital bathroom scale won't allow me to do that. By the time I put the wheel on it, it's already locked in and won't acknowledge that I've added my own weight. Shouldn't be a problem with spring/dial types.

 

You forgot one, you can also do a hand stand on the wheel and tire combo.

This is why bathroom scales suck. Although I have used them to corner weight a racing kart before. What else is so cheap.

Any shipping or grocery scale works well. Try going to the local market with a wheel and tire and see fi you can borrow the the meat scale for a minute. If so, don't shop there anymore.

 

but enkei itself is aftermarket.. and 18 lbs are decent aint it?

 

Yes, but the consensus is they are closer to 21 lbs a piece.
