Default Cobra wheels vs chrome Saleen wheel weight?

Does anyone know the wheel weight of my 97 Cobra rims vs aftermarket 17x9 chrome Saleen wheels?

I don't imagine there is a lot of difference and would be willing to bet you would NEVER notice it if so. I understand the rotating mass thing, but think this issue is over-rated.

To answer your question, it would depend on who's aftermarket Saleen wheels you check.

I guess the only way to know is ask AM what their wheels weigh. Then remove your wheels and measure them. Look up the tire on manufacturers website and hopefully will have the weight of the tire you run.

Then just do the math
