I know the stock Bullitt rim weighs 22.1 pounds, bout how much with the Nero Zero?

Considering the weight difference when going with an 18".

the ford racing website says 25lbs. for stock 17's but tirerack says 21 something.. someone needs to weigh just the rim to find out.

now if we can find the stock pirelli tire weight we can be sure. I want to get aftermarket 18 bullits from mustangtuning that weigh 25lbs. but if the stockers weight 21-22lbs. i might not but if the ford racing website is right I will.I want the max performance out of my car and don't want to weigh them down with heavy 18in rims.

the tires weigh 28lbs.info from tirerack..so the rims weigh around 22-23lbs so it sounds like tirerack is more correct with the stock rim weight.

It is hard to get 18" rims and tires that will be lighter or the same as stock. Especially considering most people get a wider rim and a wider tire, both of which weigh more.
