Volk Racing TE37SL in 15x8 +25. Should weigh about 10.8 lbs each.



Volk Racing TE37SL in 17x8.5 +40. These I believe weigh around 15 lbs each. I never weighed any of these separately. My bad, haha.

15x7 Team Dynamics Pro 1 Race offset +23(lowest offset available in 15") the +48 offset weighs in at 6.1kg or 13.44 lbs,i presume the +23 is lighter

1994 m edition wheels. 14 x 6 & 10 to 10.5 lbs each. They were polished and clear coated from the factory. I had them powder coated and polished lip.

I would imagine a +23 is heavier since it's pretty much like adding an inch thick spacer, higher offset the part of the wheel that meets the hub would be smaller/thinner no?

That is assuming the face/barrel construction are the same i guess

[RedNeckSmoker]

uuum no

ARGH. I hate you for posting this! Next season I'll be switching from my illegal 205/50/15 Z1s to 185/60/14 ZIIs. I was really hoping to not give up too much time as a result of switching to stock, lighter wheels. Fingers crossed you're not going to post that switching from blown, 100k factory original shocks to koni sports isn't going to help my times in a different thread...

lol, the article also says the narrower tire was faster at least

[ilvtofu]

uuum no

Care to elaborate?
Like I said though, this is holding all else equal and the only part being different as the part of the wheel that meets the hub. If the difference between the two offsets is amount of lip or the concavity/convexity of the spokes then the higher offset may not be lighter

Have 'em, love 'em, wish they were 8" wide. My wife wishes they weren't bronze.
