Default 18"x10" wheel @ 33lbs, how does it compare?
Would a 33 pound 18"x10" wheel be considered heavy or light comparitively?

Thats pretty heavy. I usually see them in the 22-25 lb range for a quality wheel like a CCW, Boyd Coddington, Intro, etc.

Those things are going to be boat anchors with tires and air when all is said and done.

My 18x10 iForged Senekas only weigh 23lbs. They are 3 piece though.

My stock '02 WS6 wheels weighed in at about 27lbs.

It's been raining lately, and the car isn't dropped yet...I've been holding off.


I'll snap a couple once it clears up and post them in a new thread today or tomorrow.
