A guy I work with just bought some 19 X 7.5 Motegi's for a Mazda and they weighed 26.3 pounds a piece. Too heavy if you went with the sizes we need for the G!

I picked them up and I though they were pretty light. The website says there 21 lbs 17x7

What do stock 17's weigh?


Even though, I dont race around too much. I am looking for style and keep the smooth ride.

How much do you think Volk wheels weigh.......if they are GT series wheels, they weigh in at 24-25lbs a piece! That is unless you have the forged series wheels, then they are nice!

If you are looking for nice wheels for your G for cheap, contact www.revhighonline.com , they are running their End of Summer Clearance where they sell most of their wheels for literally their cost! Give them a call!

Sorry to bring up such an old thread but saw this on a search for Motegi... what about TRAKLITE series 2381? 17" are only 14lbs... they are one piece forged.

Any opinions on these?
