weight?

Scott Bowman · 07-24-2008, 02:00 PM

When you click on the link to view these wheels on the car, it shows the rear Type F as 15.4 lbs. That's just over 2 lbs heavier than the old SSR Competition wheels (13.3 lbs). No weight given for the fronts, but I'd guess about 12 to 12.5 lbs or so. Seems a little expensive for the weight, but they are nice looking wheels.

darn i thought they were lighter than that.

cd4age · 07-24-2008, 02:18 PM

I like em! but do they only come in the 6.5J and 7.5J widths?

noobified · 07-24-2008, 02:20 PM

I spoke with Tire Rack about them. They don't have the weights of the fronts because they won't get them until 8/15. The rears are in stock, but that doesn't do us any good without the fronts.

Very nice

Yeah, I just stumbled upon these while shopping for tires.

Same size as the originals and heavier....I'd just paint the stock wheels.
