Default WS6 wheel weight

If anyone is curious, the WS6 wheel (ones in my sig) with the tire (OEM Eagle F1) weight roughly 50lbs. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Slow day? Severely bored?

Now is that with or without the center cap?

Now consider all four plastic center caps....that adds up to something

I remember lugging around the 16" cast aluminum wheels on my old '88 Camaro. I'd guess they weighted 75-80 pds. each....they were like anvils

yea tires are heavier than most people think, when I useto work at pepboys, we would get the tire shipment, and if it was my lucky day I would get to unload it, man those 235/85/16 tires are freaking heavy, I would say the LT e rated mud tires in that size are easily a 100 pounds each
