Stock wheel weight?

Looking to loose some weight here and their and improve the driving aspect on my '10 GTS sportback. As the CVT 412b is pretty limited to what you can do power wise i was gonna try a more basic approach.

Just wondering what the weight of the stock wheel is (without tire) so i can see how many Lbs i am dropping.

Thanks

Thank you, i totally missed that.

Let me see if i have this correct, im new to the TPMS.

The sensors stay with the wheels. you can swap tires on and off the wheels but if you want new wheels u have to get new sensors and then have the dealership activate them. making the cost of new wheels even higher?

There's much you can do to upgrade the lancer gts!

RRM timing control box, K&N drop in filter, RRM lightweight crank pulley, Sprintbooster just to name a few to get more performance out of it.
