i ordered a set of wheels and tires, the rear wheels are 19x9.5 w/275/30-19, they weigh 32lbs each (thats tires on wheels, and balanced)

is that heavy???

how much do DPE's weigh??? iforged??

if you know some wheel weights, please post what you know, all wheels are acceptable, just to give fellow members and myself a better understanding when buying wheels...

what do stock wheels weigh???

thanks in advance

That is pretty light, normally a rim+tire is in the 40# range.

[CirrusSR22]

32 lbs. can't be correct. That has to be either the tire alone, or the wheel alone. For example, the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position tire in that size is 29 lbs.

Yeah i think you're a little off, i have Enkei RP-F1 19's on my car and the back is a 19 x 10 with a 275/30/19 and the rim is supposed to weigh about 19 to 20 lbs and im pretty sure that tire weighs more than 12 lbs so even i am higher than 32lbs and i have some of the lightest 19's you can buy.

im recieving them at the end of the week, ill keep you all posted, but with my tracking number, it says the weight is 65lbs... thats for the 2 rear wheels with tires. figured 32lbs is a little light and 64lbs each would be impossible unless theyre made of iron.....


anyway, we'll see what the truth is friday..

yeah 65 pounds each is on the heavy side...but still possible.

19" tires weigh anywhere from 23-28 lbs. A cast wheel, depending on design may weigh around 26-34 lbs.

[montreal_bimmer]

so it IS possible that they weigh 64lbs each then.....

possible...but I kinda doubt it. which tires and which wheels did you get?

edit: I wouldn't put too much "weight" on the shipping weight. They aren't all together accurate...ie....when labelling them, the guy may have been lazy and put one tire fully on the scale and another lopsided.

best thing is to weigh them yourself when you get them.

thats what im gonna do, ill weight them when i get them friday....

I ship things UPS all them time and i lie about the weight. It could weigh 84 LBS which would make each wheel and tire 42 lBS. You never know until you weigh them yourself.

[CirrusSR22]

Those big 18", 19", 20"+ cast rims with big wide tires can definitely get portly. Even my stock 16" cast wheels and 225/50-16 stock sized tires are about 43 lbs. per. The tires are 24 lbs. (manufacturer #) and the rims are 19 lbs. (my scale)

[spacedogg]

Apparently...my stock 17" 161 weigh 60 lbs front and 62 rear with run flat tires.

[NFS13]

Stock 18" sport package rims and RFT = 59lbs each.

[montreal_bimmer]

wow so 64lbs each is ooking more and more possible..... maybe -4lbs for packaging

so 60lbs each is expectable then....

I just received 4 new rims/tires, and they were under 4 different tracking numbers. They were shipped as being 55 lbs including packaging, but were 46.5 lbs each. I would think they are still in the 55-60 lb range.

Go to wheelweights.net to get the weight of your wheels and then go to Tire Rack to get your tire weight. I did this on mine and it was only 1 lbs off on front and right on the rear weight. Im guessing the rear wieght on your wheels and tire will be 53-56 lbs each.

wheelweights.com website is down for renovations
