Average 17" rim weight ???

[TS240sx]

how much is the weight for a 17" rim ?

[w1ngzer0]

usally 21+lbs each. Then there are cheap lightweights that are 15lbs each. Then the high end priced ones that are 11-13lbs each. Yes, i am talking about 17's

i have 17x7.5 and it is around 18~20 lb, i guess it is not too bad, and by the way, is 7.5 too wide for 240sx S14 ?

average is hard to say....20-30lbs would probably be it though.

As you approach 1lb/inch you approach upper weight 'light' wheels, if you can get near 1/2lb per inch you are in the ultralight category.

Every 1lb on a wheel is bad, like 5-10lbs (20-50lbs when you consider x 4) on the car itself. Plus braking increases and all that (ever see someone with 24's on a SUV and stock brakes try to panic stop (a lot of panicking and not much stopping ).
