Does anyone know how much the OEM spec wheels weigh?

Just asking because I found some 18x9.5 inch SSR 6-spokes that weigh only 16.8 pounds, and i was wondering if thats lighter or heavier than the stockers (cause we could all use less unsprung weight/rotating mass)

I can guarantee you that the SSRs are at least 5-10lbs lighter than stock. They are forged, which makes them super strong and light. This comes at a steep price, though.

I am not certain what the new style wheels weigh, but I would estimate that the Bullit style wheels weigh in around 23lbs each, which is what the old Bullits weighed in at. On the SSR good choice for a performance wheel in terms of weight and strength; the 18x8.5 is 16.8lbs and the 18x9.5 is around 17.5lbs. You can basically gaurantee that the SSR six spoke competition wheels will be lighter than stock as they are some of the lightest wheels on the market.
