Aftermarket Wheels Vs. OEM

Does anyone know how much top brand aftermarket rims weigh Vs. the forged 19's that come stock? Are there many that are alot lighter or lighter at all? What do you guys recomend?

Not a whole lot lighter as far as 19" compared to 19" its going to depend. If you go with the lightest 19" rims they are going to weigh in around 19+ pounds...the stock 19s weigh 22 pounds a peice. Now if you go with 18" or 17" rims you can get them down to like 12 pounds...

Why such a big difference over 1 or 2 inches?

it's not only the diamter you have to consider. most after market 19s are 8.5 to 10.5 inches wide whereas 17s and 18s are not as wide
