46lbs w/tires

I had the Fikse's off today when I was putting rotors on my car and decided to weigh them. They are 17x12's with 315's on them and they weighed 46.25lbs. I'm not sure how good or bad that is, how does that compare to others. If anybody has the weight of theirs please let me know! Thanks.

Pretty light IMHO for a 12" wheel and a 315 tire.

Well when you take into account that the manufactures advertised weight of a 315/35ZR17 is:

30 lbs = Goodyear GSD3
31 lbs = Dunlop SP 8000
30 lbs = Sumitomo HTZ
28 lbs = BF Goodrich Drag Radial
32 lbs = BF Goodrich KD

That means the wheel could only weight around 14 to 17 lbs!

Thats pretty cool, I'll have to weigh them when I get new tires. Right now they have Goodyear GS-C's, not sure how much they weigh though.

I am not sure that is right. When I got my OE Concepts 17x9.5 ZR1's I weighed just the wheel and it was 24lbs. A friends OE C C5 Z06 wheel same size was almost 26. ????

Well if one is polished and one is chrome, could make the weight diff.
