I Just got my new wheel its 5zigen FN01R, its 17x7.5 with 215x45x17 tire, and its weight (both tire & wheel) about 38-39 lbs each, is that heavy or not?

I would say that they are. what is the weight of just the rim? My 18" rims weigh 22lbs (not including the tire) But I cant imagine the tire weighing 17lbs. Oh well!

light weigh wheels range around 6.5-9lbs each for 14-16" tires usually aren't the heavy part of it... tires are usually 10lbs and under for thes applications...

(i work ata tire store) so year your wheels are heavy like mine =)

My wheel should be light weight its about 16.5lbs with 17x7.5 size.
This is may be I have a damn heavy tire (if so this tire alone is about 22lbs)?

I buy this from www.wheelmax.com the tire is 215x45x17 "Nankang" Brand, they said its batter than Kumho and they don't care about Toyo anymore.

Thanks

weighed my 18's with tire 44 lbs. the 16's were 35 lbs. with tire. right now i got my 16's on for winter and i can actually feel a big difference when i get on it.

Does Anybody know what brand and type for the light weight tire, maybe i want to change my tire later?

thanks

dpends on tread style and speed rating z rated or y rated are going to heavier due to thicker sidewall
