Wheel weight question
I found some wheels I like that weigh in at 15.2 lbs each.
I have a 92 with stock wheels and have no clue what they weigh.
Would this weight weigh enough to affect the car?
Thanks.

Will you notice a difference? Depends on how finely tuned your butt-meter is, but you'll probably notice a small degredation in ride quality and acceleration with a 15-lb wheel.
The early wheels were in the 11-13lb range, iirc. I know the 15" '99+ alloys are ~13lbs each, the 15" BBS are 12lbs each, adn the 14" BBS are ~10lbs each.
Unless you're looking for that last tenth at the track, I'd say go for it. 15lb wheels aren't that heavy.

Here's a chart with the OEM wheel info....

It will also depend on the weight of the tire you choose. A lighter tire can negate some of the weight of the wheel. POS II had some really light tires on even lighter BBSs... what were they Mick?
