Just wondering, why do you want to know the weight? There probably around 17 pounds, but if your going to be trying to lose a lot of weight, there's not much to lose unless you strip the whole car. Just some thoughts. Sorry i don't konw the exact weight.- Kevin

You can loose alot of weight from wheels.

Figure this. Stock 16 weigh about 23 lbs a peice 23x4=92
My 17's weigh 17lbs a peice 17x4=68

That's 24lbs or Rotating mass removed.

WHen someone asks a question don't put a opinion in and a "They PROBABLY weigh 17 pounds" 18X7.5 inch wheels weigh anywhere from 12 pounds to like 30 pounds...Forged...Chrome ETC ETC...so yeah just a little info for ya...

Losing unsprung weight helps more than losing wait that is sprung, or so I've heard.

 

[KRAZYKOREAN]

ALso less rotating mass like JOHN said meaning..it will be easier to turn the wheels....

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Less rotating Mass and unsprung weight=More Power.

My wheel and tire combo weighs 45lbs, I don't know what the wheel alone weighs, probably a lot. My car is a compromise...I know my wheels aren't the lightest around but they look sick as fuK if you ask me. Based on my impression of JDM I would assume a sub 20lb 17" gunmetal wheel would be in order but I guess I could be wrong.
