Mine varied, but they were in grams.

Brian, didn't you mention in another rather recent thread that the BBS wheels were 16lbs each?

I don't want to quote you because I may be inadvertently thinking of wheel diameter.

The thread I'm referring to had the owner questioning info on a different tire size and wheel weight versus their current wheel/tire setup.(Sorry I don't remember the specific thread at the moment)

Someone weighed them at that value. I don't know if they are on that website wheel wight database.

Can't weigh any now, but 16x7 cast 20 holer weighed 20, light cast 18x9 OZ racing almost the same, 18x9 forged BBS RGR about 18.3.

Different brands of tires in the same size can have a 1-2 pound difference depending on internal number of ply and strength of materials.

Nylon, polyester, rayon, kelvar, natural vs synthetic rubber, steel vs aramid

Michelin is usually the lighest for strength of construction, something they pride themselves on, as they can spend a few dollars more on exotic strong materials, which increases durability substanially.

Yes, compare PS2 against other premium tires size for size and you will find a 10% difference.

I think I now realize that OP was asking about each wheel's weight, not about the the OEM installed wheel weights.

But for an apostrophe..........

You are right I would like to know what each wheel weighs.

Wes told me the BBS wheels weigh 13LBS, But I would like to know for sure.

[maxnix]

Might be true. Maybe it is the cast that weighs 16 lbs.

Can't tell as they are all on the cars right now.

I just know that when Rob (rsiwicki) had them on his car and he got new wheels he took one of them to the post office and it weighed about 13lbs. If anything I would say the post office scales would probably show it weighing a little more than it actually does...
