Can someone give me a definitive weight on the factory sport rim? I want to decrease unsprung weight as much as possible and need a starting point.

 

Okay, this is what I have so far. The factory Dunlaps are 18 pounds according to Tire Rack. I have weighed the tire/ wheel on my bathroom scale and I got 36-37 pounds, but I know that's not accurate. So if someone could get an accurate weight on the combo we will all have the answer. If you really want to talk about unsprung weight we need to have a starting point.

 

A search would give you the answer pretty easily.

edit: oops - that thread may not have the specific answer after all.

 

That thread just furthered the confusion. If I had an accurate scale I could answer my own question. I want to reduce unsprung weight as much as possible. If I can't reduce by a significant amount,for reasonable cash. I'll spend my money else ware.

 

um. . why dont you go buy an accurate scale??

 

This pic shows the sport wheel with stock bridgestone tire at at 36lbs.
Tirerack lists the dunlop at 18lbs, which would mean the stock Sport wheel is 18lbs.

 

Thank you Steve for your courteous response. I guess I can cancel my order for that scale.

 

That pic show a GD wheel on the scale not a GE.

 

damn you are right. They look similar at first glance from that view.
