GSX Rims weight

[adamism]

Anyone know how much they weigh?

The stock 17" of a 2G GSX weighs 25 pounds apiece.

That's pretty heavy.

The handling on the GSX changed a whole lot when the stock wheels were replaced. Steering got lighter and acceleration was better. It is also noticeable on fuel consumption - shedding all that weight on rotational mass gave me an extra 2 mpg off my normal 16 mpg.

Wow, so it can improve mpg also?
