Got the tires put on the rims today. All four Volk rims, new tires, and rays lus weighed in at 79lbs.
New stock tires must weigh 13.5lbs..?
The stock rims with worn out tires weighed 86lbs. I wonder how much tire rubber is wore down? If the math is right a set of worn down tires are about 12lbs lighter .
This is using my low dollar digital bathroom scales. So probably a little in accurate.
I had to weigh them 4 at a time because the scales couldn't read one wheel at a time.
Rims bolted right up with no problems. Looks very sweet.
Test drive --- I couldn't say if it wanted the car to be quicker or that the rims made the car quicker.
I used my obdii software and did a 60-90mph in 3rd. with stock rims in a time of 15 seconds. BTW I removed my winter mods and put the stock air intake on the car for the test.
