the weight of rims?

rinso · 03-27-2007, 10:09 AM

I've been looking for a new set of rims for some time now, and I'm sure most of you know its not an easy discision to make. Since I don't know much about rims I naturally decided to snoop around on the web and found alot of hoo har about unspring mass. While knowing the benefits of unspring mass is all well and good, what I cannot find for the life of me are the actual weight of rims.

Just how much do stock supra rims weigh? And how heavy are "lightweight" rims?

While I realize at the end of the day rims are mostly for the show I cannot in good conscious change something on my car that will decrease its performance. If someone could shed some light on this I would be grateful.
