Wheel Weight :CCW
I know lots of others are interested or concerned with wheel weight.
I just had my new wheels weighed at CCW before tire mounting and shipping to me.
They are CCW SP500
Front: 21.1 Lbs (18x10)
Rear: 22.1 Lbs (18x11.5)

That's good news! Let’s see some pics!And here's the best part (if you are running Kumho MX's anyway)
A 265/35/18 weighs 2 pounds LESS than a 265~275/40/17, so you stand to actually end up in the green on the fronts.

NOW ........ Nitto 555 R2 285 and 305
Any idea what the Nitto's weigh?? Their website has all the tire specs except the weight. But I will know as I will weigh the packaged tire/wheel combo before I mount them!!

[QUOTE=see5]Well, the racing Classic in 17x11 weighs 18.25lbs. It is drilled more and does not have center cap.
No doubt the 17x11 is lighter. But my wheels have to be all purpose......DD and Track and Canyon Runs.....plus be visually pleasing
to me
I thought these were the best of all worlds......
