My current 15" wheels/tires weight 35 pounds. A set of 1992 gsr with rubber are 24 pounds each.

Will these 11 pounds per wheel help my in the quater mile?

you will definately notice a difference!

 

holy ****, you must have some bling bling heavy *** chrome rims for them to be 35 lbs in a 15" rim

 

35 pounds for tire and wheel. not just the wheel. And I did get the 24 pound GSR wheel/tire setup. I like it. its a lot more tire that I like, but for 44 pounds total. I can live with it.

 

ok that makes more sense, good choice are they the 98+ gsr wheels? i love those

 

Yes it would be worth the upgrade! You will notice a big difference.

Unsprung weight is the worst.

 

nope they are 92 gsr + bfg tires for 130 I couldnt pass it up.

i have volk te37s 15x7 with a 195/50 yoko avs es100 on it, and it weighs 28 lbs, i think your scale is off, the tires have no tread or something

 

maybe, the wheel weights website claims its a 15.5 lb. wheel so that makes it a 9 pound tire. does that sound incorrect? But yes the tires are low on tread.

 

9lbs for a tire is pretty hard to believe, tires are usually 15 or so

 

yea I'm looking up the tire weight.

Volk TE37 15 x 7 Forged 9.2lb ... yea maybe his scale is off. he wieghted them.

I've found "Yokahama AVS ES100 = 24.4 pounds" of unknown size from http://forums.nasioc.com/forum....html .

So something is not adding up. I'm gonna grab the my scale and weight them.

i weighted them on my kitchen scale and it came out to be a little over 29 pounds. I weight my other ones and they came out the be a little over 35 pounds.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
