Stock Wheels vs. Dem Volk CE28 Thangs.

specs:

Me - 5'10", 157.4 lbs. - Athletic Build, likes to go Snowboarding and Golfing in his spare time.



Stockers - 17"x 7", 44.6lbs - Falken Azenis 215/45/17 - Suitable as a AutoX wheel. You won't catch me rockin these out in public.



Volk CE28n's - 17"x 7.5", 34.8 - Falken Azenis 235/40/17 - I'll teach ya how ta stunt!



Thats a reduction in 9.8lbs per wheel, almost 40lbs in all.
Maybe I should use these as my AutoX wheels after all.

I know they're your work shoes, right Sal.

What are you doing tonight dude?

Saw the car on my way out of the development today...nice! BTW, your dad drives fast.

 

good job on the scale of this ish... way to show the weight saves, thats crazy... seems like those azenis way quite a bit eh??

must be nice to lose almost 40lbs of unsprung weight!!

 

I hope you know its not accurate when you weigh yourself with your shoes on, fatty!

hey weigh the spare tire and tools for me :D

 

44.6lbs for 1 Wheel / Tire?!

That's why lighter wheels really do matter.. not just to look like a baller

(even though I don't have lighter wheels and therefore do not look like a baller )

 

^^yeah, these stock wheels are pretty heavy

The CE28Ns are on the top of my wish list.

 

GREAT POST!

I went from stock 17" Si wheels on OEM Michelins 215/45/17 45.5 lbs

TO

17" A-TECH Final Speed Erasers with 215/45/17 Kumho SPT's 40.5 lbs

TO

17x7.5" VOLK CE28N's with 215/40/17 Yokohama AVS 100's 36.5 lbs


I would have thought your Falken Azenis are much heavier then my Yoko's, but it might be one of our scales might be a little off or I have more balancing weights on my wheels. Who knows..

I will be using my Volks for autocrossing as soon as I get Azenis mounted up. I think that is the way to go

By the way, any rubbing with the 235/45/17 Azenis? Thanks

Thanks, just what I needed to know. If you end up autocrossing the CE's let me know if you have any rubbing issues with the 225's.

Tires in your living room; sounds like me too

Thanks again.

Any reason you bumped a month old thread with a worthless post? What is that supposed to mean anyway? What value did you add to this thread today?

Nice, a two day event. Thats going to be fun. Yeah, let me know how those 225's do. I still have plenty of tread on the Yoko's, but can't wait to switch to Azenis after I decide what size.
