yeah yeah run a search bla bla I did but didnt find the answer. Looking for the 18" wheel weight please.

 

heavier than the new 19" OEM rims

 

really, are they?

wanted to know this too as a guide to getting 19's or 20s. im sure most aftermarkets will be heavier but so we can choose the least added weight.

 

Most aftermarkets will be lighter depending on if you get cast, forged, etc. I believe the stock 18's were somewhere between 23-25 lbs. each? Someone correct me if Im wrong.

 

I heard more like 30-32 pounds! The 19's are 19!

 

The rear 18's (2003) with tires are like 51+ pounds, the fronts are about a pound lighter.

 

I thought the new 19's were 17lbs each?

 

that depends on the tire you have mounted to it.

 

If I recall correctly someone threw the stock 18s on a scale a while back and got 26 pounds for the front and 27 pounds for the rear.

 

How come, according to the Infiniti brochures, the '05 6MT weighs 77 lbs more than the '04 6MT?

 

shouldn't be any differ front to rear. they are both 18x8 with a 30 mm offset. both will weigh the same

 

Xcel: I agree that they should weigh the same (front vs rear), but the fronts do have that bolt/stud screwed in them to prevent the fronts being put on the rear hubs......I doubt that this bolt would weigh an additional pound. otherwise, the front & rear rims are exactly the same and should weigh virtually the same.

 

Interior upgrades? Maybe.

It isn't the wheels.

 

Actually the bolt is screwed into the rotors hat, its not part of the wheel. The hole in the wheel to accommodate for this bolt is only like 13mm in diam. I highly doubt that little hole would be a full pound of weight difference.

 

Good Point!!!!
