Default The weight of a steel rim. Any guesses?

Does anyone have any guesses? Hell, the spare I had in the trunk weighed in roughly around 33 pounds. I can only imagine the weight of a regular steel rim. I know this is off topic, but I was just wondering.

Ooooo niceee. The rims I showed you on the thread I posted about the rims I was going to get was roughly 19 pounds each. Not bad imo. If I had to guess on the weight of the steel rims... (though i've never picked it up and held it) Maybe 45 pounds each? Does that sounds right to you?

Heavy. Makes me not want to do work on those type of cars. I'm guessing around 50 lbs.

Well I meant with the tire. But yeah, you're right.

I find it kind of sad though (about my new rims) Though they're 19-20 pounds each, with the tire they come out to about 35 pounds lol. I guess it's about right.

This site gives weights for a 15x6.5 Accord steelie, a 15x6 Civic steelie, and a 13x5 '88-91 Civic steelie, which are in the range of 16.0-20.2 pounds.
