Default 19" sport wheels weigh 58lb each

In case anyone was wondering. That's with OEM tire installed and inflated to ~38 pounds of air. It is the prestige wheel 15 spoke star. Part number is in a previous post, pic is in my folder. And yes they are sold, thanks for all the interest.

I wonder how much they would weigh if there was no air in them. :-)

Well that's easy.....take out the 38 lbs of air and you're left with 20 pounds.

doesn't quite work like that... 58lbs for a 19" wheel with tire and air, would lead me to believe the 19" wheel is around 27 - 29lbs alone...

if the OEM 19" wheel was only 20lbs... everybody would be picking up a set

38 PSI - not 38 pounds, in weight, of air.

Jeez I hope nobody thought I was serious............
This is really pretty simple - Tire Rack says the OEM tire weighs 27 pounds, so the OEM 19" wheel weighs 31 lbs. Sounds about right for a cast (probably) "overbuilt" 19" factory wheel.
Of course, we don't know if the 38psi was measured with the valve stem at the top or the bottom of the wheel. Makes a difference, ya know?

And don't forget to factor in the weight difference of the front vs. rear wheels.

I filled a tire with helium and I had to put weight in the trunk to keep it on the ground.
