Default Weight of wheel

Does anyone know the individual weight of a 5 spoke forged polished wheel?

Default 21 pounds (so you don't have to MichaelTT) ;-)

Or as OcTTober would say... 642 pounds each!

Default has anyone actually weighed the forged premium package wheel?

just wondering if this number came from hands on results?

...could be an accurate number considering it is forged rim. i have a set of IFG forged rims for bmw that weigh in at around 18lbs. I was going to get a set for the TT but production of a TT fitment is scheduled but none available yet and won't be until late summer i've been told

Default I'm not sure if I'm being used as the source for this or not, but...

A few months ago I weighed my OEM 5 spoke forged w/tire at 40 lbs even using a bathroom scale, probably within 1 lb. Having done the same with my snow tires, purchased about November, in 195/55/15 size I got 18 lbs for those. Based on that size/weight I approximated the 225/45/17 tire at about 19 lbs. Thus the 21 lbs for the wheel alone.

I have not seen anyone post an actual weighing of the wheels alone, but the 21 lbs seems likely within +/- 1 lb.

An interesting comparison is my 215/40/16 P7000 on Borbet type T weighed in at 32 lbs for wheel and tire. Use these on my GTI.
