OEM 19s are 20lbs. Almost every wheel out there is heavier than the oem's.

Are you sure they're only 20lbs? That would be incredibly light for 19's. Anyone for sure? Thanks.

I'm sure. I weighed them myself subtracting the weight of the tire. If you do a search another forum member posted the same thing. It's not so unbelievable if you remember that the oem 19s are very narrow (8" front/8.5" rear) and forged. The cheapo ruff wheels are cast, chromed, have big spokes, and are wider. Don't forget that with wider tires also comes even more weight.

Personally I would never get any wheel over 25 lbs, even if they cost next to nothing. Unless you don't care about performance...
