Does anyone know what the stock 16" sport wheels weigh?
Im replacing them and want to shed some unsprung weight while I'm at it.
Thanks!

I finded this.

I finded this.

OUCH! 19lbs. for a 16" wheel is excessive. I can only imagine what my Pop wheels weight.

OZ Racing here I come

Yeah that's ridiculous for a 16". If I get a set of coilovers and I can get the proper drop im provably going to go to 15"s so I'll be able to get wheels around 13-14 lbs. Dropping like 25-28 lbs of unsprung weight will be great

 

[JAFA500]

I'm going to 17"s @ 14.3 lbs. each with Conti tires @14lbs. Some serious weight savings

according to Chryslers DealerConnect, the 'shipping weight' on PN 1UF17KDRAA 16" Alloy Sport Wheel is 18 lbs.

15" Alloy used on some Pops PN 68072557AA has a shipping weight of 17 lbs. WOO HOO! LOL

Hmm... I think I'll stick with my heavy wheels. I'd rather have a few pounds extra than be replacing them every time I hit an unseen pothole. There are enough of them around that I can safely say I'd be saving thousands on avoided replacements.

But, I do enjoy seeing you guys put such fancy wheels on your cars.

That's reasonable, our roads are bad here too. Ive even bent my 23 lb 17" focus SVT wheels..

At least you have the best color for the 500, I get jealous a little every time I see a giallo! ( have yet to see one in my city though)

 

[MrFlippant]

I haven't seen any other Giallos on the road, either. Then again, I've only seen a few outside the Studio lot.

 

[Col Pudgebutt]

I've seen several on the road but no Verde Chiarro's. a few weeks ago I spotted a Mocha 500c which was also very cool and very retro. LOVE the retro colors.

back to the tire/wheel thing, I would prefer to have more tire between the expensive to replace alloy wheel and a potential pothole. also would give the Sport a little better ride for us 'old folks'! LOL
