Hi,
I have the chrome 17"x6' GT wheels on my '03 GT Cruiser....has anyone weighed them? I think I am going aftermarket to get lighter ones...Thanks for your help...Nico
Hi,
Yup...the stock chrome GT wheels must be @ 23Lbs...I weighed the tire and wheel combo (stock Goodyears) and the total came in at 45.5 Lbs...I just bought a bundle package from Edgeracing, man these guys are great! Great prices and products...My new combo (enkei and Falkens) weighs in at 40 Lbs per corner and later when I can afford it I can probably shave another 4.5 Lbs from each corner by getting some 5Zigens. I can feel the difference now and later on down the road when I shave off more weight it will be even better.... too bad the stockers are so heavy and narrow. I like the looks but they are too heavy and rob power and mileage. Lookin to make this PT more efficient before I go to Stage 1... Nick
P.S. does anyone know how the vehicle is affected for every Lb of unsprung weight that is removed?
I think there were 2 different style rims for GT's between 03-05. I have the
17X7 snowflake rims.
Then your one of the lucky ones. The snowflakes were mainly on the verts (though I have seen 2 hardtops on dealer lots, brand new with snowflakes), and came in 17x6 and 17x7. The standard GT wheel only ever came in 17x6... i don't know what the new 10 spoke wheel comes in, as it's ugly anyway...
